Notes:

1.   As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 49,169,428 ordinary shares in issue. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 49,169,428. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and subject to the Listing Rules, on a poll every member who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.

2.  The scrutineer of the poll was Computershare Investor Services PLC, the Company's Share Registrar.

3.   Note that a "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and such votes have not been included in the calculation of votes "for" and "against" each resolution.  Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total above.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions which constitute special business at the AGM (being resolutions 14 to 18) will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
