Notes:

1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the 'for' total.

2. A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.

3. The total issued share capital and total number of voting rights is: 1,953,170,495 ordinary shares. Every shareholder has one vote for every ordinary share held. This figure includes 128,350,796 ordinary shares in issue, held as security by a group entity under the terms of the £275 million exchangeable bond which will not vote whilst held by a group entity. On average 75.97% (1,483,809,358 ordinary shares) of the total number of voting rights voted. The percentage of shares voted, once the 128,350,796 ordinary shares held as security by a group entity under the terms of the £275 million exchangeable bond have been excluded was approximately 81.31%.

In accordance with paragraph 9.6.2 of the Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions passed at the meeting, other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
