1. Proxy votes which gave discretion to the Chair of the Meeting have been included in the 'For' total of the appropriate resolution.
2. 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' any resolution nor in the calculation of Total Votes.
3. Votes 'For' and 'Against' any resolution are expressed as a percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution.
4. The full text of all the resolutions passed at the General Meeting can be obtained from the Notice of Meeting, which is available on the Company's website at www.tclarke.co.uk

Total Voting Rights
Prior to the Placing the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue was 44,101,443. Following Admission, the Company will have a total of 52,850,780 Ordinary Shares in issue. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is expected to be 52,850,780. This is the figure that may be used by Shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
