1.   The percentages voted 'For' and 'Against' are expressed as a proportion of the total votes cast, which does not include votes withheld since for legal purposes a vote withheld is not a vote cast.
2.   Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the meeting have been included in the 'For' totals.
3.   As at 6:00 p.m. on 27 July 2021 (being the record time for the Annual General Meeting), the Company had 195,134,340 Ordinary Shares in issue and the total number of voting rights in respect of these ordinary shares was 195,134,340, each ordinary share carrying one vote.
