The Board would like to thank shareholders for their engagement and support ahead of the AGM and throughout the year.

 

Notes:

 

1.   Any proxy arrangement which gave discretion to the Chairman has been included in the "For" totals.

2.   A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against" any resolution or the total number of votes cast.

3.   On 19 November 2025, the Company's issued share capital comprised 178,517,862 ordinary shares of 10 pence each (excluding treasury shares), 42,041 ordinary shares of 10 pence each held in treasury ('treasury shares') and 665,888,258 non-cumulative redeemable preference shares of 0.1 pence each ('B shares'). Each ordinary share of the Company carries one vote at General Meetings of the Company. Any ordinary shares held in treasury and the B shares have no voting rights.  Consequently, on 19 November 2025, the total number of voting rights was 178,517,862.

4.   Pursuant to UK Listing Rule 6.4.2, copies of all resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM today will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available to view at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

5.   Results of the poll will also be available shortly to view on the Company's website at www.mcbride.co.uk/investors/shareholder-information/agm/.
