NOTES:

(a)  The "For" proxy vote includes those giving the Chair discretion.

(b)  A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the proxy votes "For" or "Against" the resolution.

(c)   In accordance with Listing Rule 9.2.2ER, these resolutions were also
passed on a poll of Independent Shareholders (as defined in the Notice of
Meeting).

(d)  As required under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, this
resolution had to be passed by the Independent Shareholders, therefore none of
the members of the Concert Party (as defined in the Notice of Meeting) voted
on it.

(e)  Special resolution.

The total number of shares in issue on 9 May 2022, the deadline for casting
votes by proxy in advance of the AGM, was 925,523,639 shares. 71.2 per cent of
voting capital, including votes withheld, was instructed in respect of the
