3.	Votes "For" and "Against" any resolution are expressed as a percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution.

5.	The number of shares in issue at close of business on 24 July 2024 was 167,379,790 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 167,379,790.
