Notes

* Resolutions 5 and 9 relate to the appointment of Mr. Xavier Mayer and Mr.
Elias Masilela respectively, who the Supervisory Board has determined to be
independent non-executive directors for the purposes of the UK Corporate
Governance Code (the "Independent Non-Executive Directors"). Section 6.2.8 of
the UK Listing Rules ("UKLR") requires that the appointment of any Independent
Non-Executive Director must be approved by a majority vote of both the
ordinary shareholders of the Company as a whole and the independent
shareholders of the Company (that is, the ordinary shareholders entitled to
vote on the election of directors, other than Bolloré SE, its related
entities and individuals, who hold a combined interest in the shares of the
Company in excess of 30%). Bolloré SE and certain of its associated entities
having abstained from voting on Resolutions 5 and 9, those resolutions have
been approved in compliance with UKLR 6.2.8.

 

A vote "Abstained" is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or
"Against" a resolution.

 

The Company's total number of shares in issue was 991,959,494 ordinary shares
of €0.25 each, of which 11,408,237 are held in treasury. The total number of
voting rights in the Company is therefore 980,551,257.

 

The full text of the resolutions is set out in the Report of the Management
Board on the Proposed Resolutions as contained in the Convening Brochure as
published on 13 May 2026, which is available for inspection on the National
Storage Mechanism at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
