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

 

The Board notes the voting result of 80.81% in relation to the climate
strategy resolution. There has been extensive engagement with stakeholders
around this issue ahead of the AGM and over the last 12 months and we greatly
value the input and feedback provided. We are aware of a spectrum of views
across the share register, but we are pleased the majority of shareholders
have supported the resolution and we will continue to engage around this issue
and look forward to providing an update on green financing later in the year.

As at 6.30pm on Friday 29 April 2022, the time by which shareholders who
wanted to vote at the AGM must have been entered on the Company's register of
members, there were 16,769,307,716 ordinary shares in issue.  Shareholders
are entitled to one vote per share on a poll.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions that do not
constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to
the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at
