To view the full wording  of the resolutions, please refer  to the Notice of 2026  Annual
General Meeting on the Company's website.

 

Votes "For"  and "Against"  are expressed  as a  percentage of  votes cast.  Votes  "For"
include discretionary votes.  A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not
counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

 

In accordance with UK  Listing Rules 6.4.2,  copies of all  the resolutions passed  other
than resolutions concerning ordinary business will shortly be available for inspection on
the              National               Storage               Mechanism               at:
