Update statement on 2023 Annual General Meeting Voting Results

At the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held on 26 May 2023, Resolution 2 (the approval of the Directors' Remuneration Policy) was passed with 66.47% votes in favour. As stated in the announcement published on the date of the AGM, the Remuneration Committee (the "Committee") subsequently consulted and engaged with relevant shareholders who were unable to support the resolution to understand their views. The Committee noted that there were no consistent themes for voting against the Directors' Remuneration Policy by the minority of shareholders who did so. The Committee would like to thank those shareholders who have engaged with us over the past six months.

Having reflected on the feedback received from shareholders and the support of the majority of shareholders, the Committee is satisfied that it acted in the best interests of the Company and all of its stakeholders. The Committee is committed to maintaining an open and constructive dialogue with the Company's shareholders and will continue to engage with its largest shareholders on executive directors' remuneration going forward.

This statement is provided in accordance with Provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code.
