in favour. The Board engaged extensively with shareholders and governance
bodies as the Foundation Plan was developed and believes that it balances
accountability, an ownership mindset, alignment with shareholder interests and
long-term value creation. The Board also notes that it rightly carries
downside risk for senior leaders from their direct co-investment. Through this
detailed engagement, we developed a strong understanding of stakeholder views
on the Foundation Plan and received support from a clear majority.

The Board plans to continue to actively engage with shareholders and relevant
governance bodies on our approach to remuneration.

More information on the rationale for the Foundation Plan can be found in the
2025 Annual Report.
