and by a majority of the independent shareholders voting on the resolution, in

The Board notes the shareholder vote outcome in respect of resolution 7
concerning the re-election of the Chairman. The Company has explained the
circumstances of this appointment and the Board's reasons for its
recommendation in detail in its 2025 Annual Report. The Board also notes that
whilst the UK Corporate Governance Code contains best practice recommendations
in relation to corporate governance it acknowledges that, in individual cases,
these will not all necessarily be appropriate for particular companies.

 

The Board also notes the independent shareholder vote outcome in respect of
resolution 10 concerning the re-election of the Company's Senior Independent
Director, Jane Moriarty, and is committed to continuing discussions alongside
the Company's wider shareholder engagement activities.
