In accordance with the provisions of the City Code, each member of the Founder Concert Party (being John Lofton Holt, Rajeevan Mahadevan, Tony Pialis, and Jonathan Rogers), is considered to be interested in the outcome of Resolution 19 (the Rule 9 Waiver Resolution) and, accordingly, each of them has not voted on this resolution. This Resolution has therefore been approved by a majority of the votes cast by the independent shareholders of the Company. The Company notes the views of shareholders who voted against this resolution and the independent directors will take such views into account when considering whether or not to propose this resolution again next year.

1. |
Votes "For" and "Against" any resolution are expressed as a percentage (rounded to two decimal places) of votes validly cast for that resolution.

2. |
A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against" any resolution nor in the calculation of the total capital instructed.
|
3. |
The number of shares in issue at close of business on 20 June 2023 was 705,564,208. There were no shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 705,564,208. Up to 84.21% of voting capital was instructed (excluding votes withheld). |
