Notes:

1.  A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "for" and "against" a resolution.

2.  The issued share capital figure used to calculate the percentage voted is 312,067,649.  This is the figure as at the close of business on 4 May 2021 and excludes the number of ordinary shares held in treasury at that date.
