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 11 November 2024, the Company's issued share capital comprised
174,015,287 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 B Shares of 0.1 pence each. Each ordinary share of the Company

in treasury and the B Shares have no voting rights.  Consequently, on 11
