* Following the publication of the Notice of AGM on 6 June 2023, certain of the Company's shareholders engaged with the Company and questioned the need for the proposed resolutions given that the Company has no immediate need to issue shares and raise additional capital following the successful completion of the restructuring in February 2023. In light of such shareholder feedback, the Board decided to withdraw Resolutions 12, 13 and 14 from the meeting.

Votes "for" include proxy appointments which give discretion to the Chairman of the AGM.

A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of proportion of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

For the purposes of section 341 of the UK Companies Act 2006, the votes validly cast are expressed in the table as a percentage of the Company's total issued ordinary share capital (excluding shares held in treasury) as at close of business on Wednesday 28 June 2023 being the time at which a shareholder had to be registered in the Company's register of members in order to attend and vote at the AGM.  The number of issued ordinary shares of the Company was 169,381,561 ordinary shares of £0.01 each.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the resolutions passed, other than ordinary business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism, and can be viewed at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
