** As announced on 11 July 2023, resolution 3 (relating to the Directors' Remuneration Policy) was, following feedback from shareholders and the proxy voting agencies, withdrawn from the agenda. The Company will undertake a new consultation with shareholders and thereafter seek shareholder approval for a new Directors' Remuneration Policy before 31 March 2024. As a result, the existing Directors' Remuneration Policy, as approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM, will remain in place and continue to apply.
