2.  A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted towards the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

3.  As at 6.00pm on 30 October 2020, the time by which shareholders who wanted to vote at the GM must have been entered on the Company's register of members, there were 253,615,794 ordinary shares in issue and 76.60% of the voting capital was instructed. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.
