* These figures include proxy votes. Where shareholders have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy with discretion as to voting on the resolutions, those votes have been cast in favour of the relevant resolutions. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, withheld votes therefore do not form part of the total votes cast.

Impact of swap arrangements on AGM voting
The Board notes that, as previously communicated, the support of shareholders voting at its AGMs is under-represented as a result of longer-term shareholders, primarily based in the United States, investing in the Company through swap structures which are unable to vote at the AGM. This has been reflected in the decreased percentage of total shares outstanding voting at the last several AGMs. The Company has confirmed with the four largest such investors known to the Company which hold approximately 12% of its outstanding voting rights that they would have voted "for" on all of the resolutions voted on at the 2026 AGM and, had this been reflected in the voting outcomes, the shareholder support for each of the resolutions at the 2026 AGM would have increased as a result.
National Storage Mechanism
A copy of the resolutions approved at the Annual General Meeting has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
