Results of General Meeting
Subsequent to the Company's circular published on 22 October 2025 (the "Circular"), in which proposals were put forward to:
· make a Tender Offer of up to 100 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares of the Company (excluding Shares held in Treasury);
· amend the Existing Articles to extend the Company's life indefinitely and provide for subsequent tenders at five-yearly intervals; and
