The Board notes that Resolution 15
(Authority to allot shares) was supported by the majority of

and engage with shareholders to better understand the reasons
behind these votes against and will publish an update of its
shareholder engagement within six months of today's AGM.

not a vote in law and, therefore cannot be counted in the
calculation of the proportion of
votes for
and against a resolution.

issue on Tuesday, 18 June 2024, was 1,855,251,735.
