Notes:
1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total.
2. The Group's issued capital (excluding treasury shares) on 25 September 2026 (being the record date for voting at the meeting) was 236,091,423 ordinary shares of 50p each and 1,000,000 preference shares of 50 pence each which do not carry voting rights on the above resolutions. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote and, as the Company held 7,252,974 ordinary shares in treasury on 25 September 2026 (being the record date for voting at the meeting) there were 228,838,449 voting rights in the Group.
3. 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" a resolution.
4. In accordance with Listing Rule 6.4.2, a copy of the resolutions passed, other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, will shortly be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
