Notes
For all resolutions, as at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 18 May 2021 (the time at which shareholders who wanted to attend, speak and vote at the meeting were required to have their details entered in the register of members), there were 70,962,275,982 ordinary shares in issue.
Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not votes and, therefore, have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution.
In accordance with the Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
