Results of General Meeting

Subsequent to the Company's circular published on 22 October 2025 (the
"Circular"), in which proposals were put forward to:

·     make a Tender Offer of up to 100 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares of
the Company (excluding Shares held in Treasury);

·     amend the Existing Articles to extend the Company's life indefinitely
and provide for subsequent tenders at five-yearly intervals; and

·     authorise the Company to reissue Ordinary Shares held in Treasury at
a price below the NAV per Share but above the Tender Price,

the Company held the General Meeting today at which all three resolutions were
passed on a poll.

 

The number of Ordinary Shares in issue at the date of the General Meeting was
124,149,256 (of which 2,879,256 are held in Treasury) and the number of total
voting rights (TVR) was 121,270,000 of which a total of 55.9% were voted in
the poll.

 

The results of the General Meeting were as follows:
