Notes:

 

1.   A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "for" and "against" a resolution.

2.   The issued share capital figure used to calculate the percentage voted is 317,974,690. This is the figure as at the close of business on 30 April 2024 and excludes the number of ordinary shares held in treasury at that date.
