Notes:

1.	All resolutions were passed

3.	Votes "For" and "Against" any resolution are expressed as a percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution.
4.	A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against" any resolution, nor in the calculation of the proportion of "ISC voted" for any resolution.
5.	The number of shares in issue at close of business on 26 July 2022 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.
