Notes:
1 Votes "For" and "Against" are expressed as a percentage of votes received.
2 As at 12.00pm on Wednesday 25 May 2022, the time by which shareholders who
wanted to attend, speak and vote at the AGM must have been entered on the
Company's register of members, there were 456,789,240 ordinary shares in
issue.
3 A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation
of the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.
4 Resolution 23 was put to the AGM as a resolution of the shareholders of the
Company other than Olive Partners, S.A. ("Olive") or any concert party of
Olive.
In particular, in accordance with Section 6(A) of Appendix 1 to the Takeover
Code, the Company announces that shareholders approved resolution 23, setting
out the terms of the waiver of mandatory offer provisions in Rule 9 of the
Takeover Code (the "Waiver").
Olive is currently interested in 166,128,987 shares in the Company and the
Waiver does not entitle Olive to be interested in a greater number of shares.
The Waiver would allow Olive's interest in shares as a percentage of the
Company's total shares to increase as a result of the exercise of the
Company's authorities to purchase its own shares, but only to the extent that
the resulting interest of Olive, together with any concert parties, in the
shares of the Company did not then exceed 40.4114%.
In accordance with Listing Rule 14.3.6R, 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
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
