Notes
A 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is therefore not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
The total number of ordinary shares in issue at the close of business on 24 September 2021 was [325,352,865]. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions (other than those concerning ordinary business) will be submitted to the FCA National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
