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 16 February 2026 (78,907,182),
being the time at which a shareholder had to be registered in the register of
members in order to vote at the General Meeting.                      A vote
"withheld" is not a vote in law and has not been counted as a vote "for" or
"against" a resolution. On a poll the voting rights are one vote for every one
share held.           

 

The poll votes lodged with the Registrar will shortly be available via the
Company's website at:
