Notes
As at 6.30 p.m. on 14 November 2023, the Company's issued share
capital consisted of 347,538,330 ordinary shares of 37.5p. The
Company does not hold any ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company in treasury, and therefore, the total voting rights in the
Company as at the voting record time were 347,538,330.
Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld
are not a vote in law and are therefore not counted in the
calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a
resolution. Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their
proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour
of the resolutions and their shares have been included in the
"votes for" column.
Resolutions 1 to 16 and 21 were passed as ordinary resolutions
and resolutions 17 to 20 (inclusive) were passed as special
resolutions.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of the resolutions
(other than those resolutions comprising ordinary business)
approved by shareholders will be uploaded to the National Storage
Mechanism and will be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
A copy of the voting results shown above will also be made
available on the Company's website at
