*Special Resolution
Notes:
1. The
percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.
2. Votes
"for" include discretionary votes.
3. A vote
withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation
of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" a
resolution.
4. The
number of ordinary shares in issue at 11.00 am on 18 July 2024 was
572,013,039 of which none are held in treasury. Therefore, the
number of ordinary shares with voting rights at 11:00am on 18 July
2024 was 572,013,039.
