Resolutions 1 to 14 were ordinary resolutions, requiring more than 50% of shareholders' votes to be
cast in favour of the resolutions. Resolutions 15 to 18 were special resolutions, requiring at least 75%
of shareholders' votes to be cast in favour of the resolutions.
The Board acknowledges that more than 20% of the votes cast on Resolution 14 were against and, in
addition, notes the failure of Resolutions 13, 15 and 16. The Company notes that some of its largest
shareholders are not supportive of these authorities as a matter of general policy. The Board is
committed to continuing an open and transparent dialogue with the Company's shareholders and will
continue to engage with those shareholders who voted against these resolutions to further understand
their views and address any specific concerns. An update will be provided within six months of today's
AGM, as required by the UK Corporate Governance Code.
Notes:
- Proxy appointments giving discretion to the Chair of the meeting have been included in the "For"
total.
- A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or
"Against" a resolution.
- The Company's total ordinary shares in issue (total voting rights) as at 7 July 2026, being the record
date at which a person had to be registered in the Company's register of members in order to vote
at the AGM, was 233,346,177 ordinary shares of £0.01 each. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to
one vote per ordinary share held.
In compliance with UKLR 6.4.2, a copy of the resolutions passed at the AGM will be submitted to the
Financial Conduct Authority via the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
