For the purposes of section 341 of the Companies Act 2006, the votes validly
cast are expressed in the table above as a percentage of the Company's total
voting rights as at the close of business on 24 January 2023 (212,768,122),
being the time at which a shareholder had to be registered in the register of
members in order to vote at the annual general meeting. A vote "withheld" is
not a vote in law and has not been counted as a vote "for" or "against" a
resolution.
The number of ordinary shares in issue at the date of this announcement is
216,389,910. On a poll the voting rights are one vote for every one share
held. The number of voting rights is therefore 212,768,122 (3,621,788 shares
being held in Treasury).
The poll results will shortly be available on the Company's website at:
www.hendersoneuropeanfocus.com (http://www.hendersoneuropeanfocus.com) .

Mechanism ("NSM") and will shortly be available for inspection at:
