** Ahead of the AGM, the Group sent communication to its top 25 shareholders and released a SENS announcement on 11 August 2026 inviting all shareholders to engage
on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM. Through this process the chairs of the Group’s board of directors (Board), Remuneration & Nominations committee
(Remnomco), Social, Ethics, Transformation and Sustainability committee, and management representatives engaged with shareholders representing over 67% of its
ordinary shares.

The Group appreciates the constructive feedback from shareholders and the continued support for the remuneration policy and remuneration report which indicates a
favourable shareholder view of the Group’s general remuneration philosophy. This is a result of continued positive engagements with shareholders and consistent and
transparent implementation of the policy. Notwithstanding the engagement already held, the Company remains committed to constructive engagement with shareholders on
remuneration matters and will continue to consider shareholder feedback when reviewing its remuneration policy and remuneration practices.
