1.   Please note a 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is
not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.

 

2.   As at 6.30pm on 25 April 2022, the issued share capital of the Company
consisted of a total of 558,147,304 ordinary shares made up of: (i)

each; and (ii) 51,124,377 limited-voting ordinary shares of 6 79/86 pence
each, which carry one-tenth of a vote each. LSEG does not hold any shares in
