Notes
1. Please note a 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
2. As at 6.30pm on 25 April 2023, the issued share capital of the Company consisted of a total of 552,851,953 ordinary shares made up of: (i) 501,727,576 voting ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each (excluding treasury shares), which carry one vote each; and (ii) 51,124,377 limited-voting ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each, which carry one-tenth of a vote each. The Company also holds 5,392,071 of its ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in LSEG as at that time were 506,840,013.
3. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Limited-voting ordinary shareholders are entitled one-tenth of a vote per share.
4. Under the Companies Act 2006, the Consortium Shareholders were not permitted to vote the ordinary shares to which Resolution 25 relates.
5. The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.
