(*)Special resolution

 

The full text of Resolutions 16 to 22 (inclusive) is set out in the Notice of
Annual General Meeting and explanation of business dated 9 April 2025.

 

As at 6.30pm London time, or 4.30pm Hong Kong time for the Hong Kong branch
register, on 12 May 2025, the number of issued shares of the Company
(excluding any shares that were bought back and pending cancellation) was
2,605,077,215 ordinary shares. This was the total number of shares entitling
the holders to attend and vote for or against all of the resolutions at the
AGM. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every
member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.

 

There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the
resolutions proposed at the AGM, save for the Directors (excluding independent
non-executive directors) and their respective associates who were required to
abstain, and have abstained from voting on Resolution 17 which affected a
total of 285,151 voting rights. Votes withheld are not votes in law and
therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the
votes for and against a resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion
to the Chair have been included in the total of votes 'for' the respective
resolutions. The scrutineer of the poll was Computershare Investor Services
PLC, the Company's Share Registrar.

 

All Directors of the Company attended the AGM in person.

 

Pursuant to Listing Rule 6.4.2 of the UK Listing Rules, a copy of all
resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM
on 14 May 2025, will shortly be available to view on the National Storage
Mechanism at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
