*Please note that 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not
counted in the calculation of votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution, or in the
'votes cast as a percentage of issued share capital'.

Resolutions 1 to 14 were passed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 15, 16
and 17 were passed as special resolutions.

The Board notes that resolution 13 (Political Donations) has been passed but
received more than 20% of votes against. The Company will engage with
shareholders on this matter, and provide appropriate updates in due course, in
line with the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code. We understand
that investor concerns on this resolution may reflect different market
practice in non-UK jurisdictions.

The issued share capital of the Company comprises 544,979,510 shares. As at
6.30pm (UK time) on 6 May 2025 (being the specified time by which shareholders
must be on the register of members to be eligible to vote) the Company held
9,574,658 shares in Treasury and had 535,404,852 shares in issue excluding
Treasury shares. The Company may not exercise any right to vote attached to
Treasury shares. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in Jupiter at
the AGM is 535,404,852. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share on a
poll.
