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.
