* These figures include proxy votes. Where shareholders have appointed the
Chairman of the meeting as their proxy with discretion as to voting on the
resolutions, those votes have been cast in favour of the relevant
resolutions. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, withheld votes therefore
do not form part of the total votes cast.

Resolutions 2, 5 and 6
The Board notes the results of resolution 2 to approve the Remuneration Policy
and resolutions 5 and 6 to approve the Company's PSP and RSP share plans.
These resolutions were supported by a clear majority of the Company's
shareholders, but with a significant minority vote against. It is notable that
the number of shares voted at the 2025 AGM was approximately 17% less than
those voted at the 2023 AGM. This decrease correlates with a similar
percentage of the Company's shares outstanding at the 2025 AGM which did not
vote because they are held through swap structures, primarily by longer-term
shareholders who are supportive of the Remuneration Policy and related
resolutions. The Remuneration Committee is committed to continuing its
engagement with shareholders to understand the views of shareholders who voted
against these resolutions. An update of this engagement will be published
within six months, as well as a final summary in the Company's Annual Report
for 2025.
National Storage Mechanism
A copy of the resolutions approved at the Annual General Meeting has been
submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
