Notes:
1. As at the close of business on May 7, 2024, the total number of ordinary shares of US$0.50 eligible to be voted at the AGM was 135,360,558. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at that time was 135,360,558.
2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.
A copy of the special business resolutions will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available to view at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism in due course.
Computershare Investor Services PLC acted as scrutineer of the poll on all resolutions.
While all resolutions were passed at today's AGM with a clear majority, the Board notes that resolutions 9, 11 and 13 received a significant number of votes against. The Board understands this is primarily because Ms. Le Couilliard, Ms. Ryan and Ms. Thompson do not hold shares in the Company.
Our shareholders' views are important to us and we intend to engage with those shareholders who voted against these resolutions.
