time was 135,360,558.

A copy of the special business resolutions will be submitted to the National
Storage Mechanism and will be available to view at

(https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism) in due course.
Computershare Investor Services PLC acted as scrutineer of the poll on all
resolutions.
While all resolutions were passed at today's AGM with a clear majority, the
Board notes that resolutions 9, 11 and 13 received a significant number of
votes against. The Board understands this is primarily because Ms. Le
Couilliard, Ms. Ryan and Ms. Thompson do not hold shares in the Company.
Our shareholders' views are important to us and we intend to engage with those
shareholders who voted against these resolutions.
