the results of the poll are as follows:

                                                                              VOTES FOR    %      VOTES AGAINST  %     TOTAL VOTES VALIDLY CAST  % OF SHARE CAPITAL WITH VOTING RIGHTS  VOTES WITHHELD

1.       The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.

2.       Votes "for" include discretionary votes.

calculation of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" a resolution.

4.       The number of ordinary shares in issue at 6.30pm on 2 February
2024 was 578,757,121 of which none are held in treasury. Therefore the number
of ordinary shares with voting rights at 6.30pm on 2 February 2024 was

Following the resolution being duly passed, the share buyback programme as
previously announced on 16 January 2024 (the Programme) will commence on 7
February 2024.

The first tranche of up to £50 million will be carried out through an
irrevocable non-discretionary agreement with Barclays Capital Securities
Limited (Barclays) on the basis set out in the announcement of the Programme
on 16 January 2024. Barclays may undertake transactions in QinetiQ shares
(which may include sales and hedging activities, in addition to purchases
which may take place on any available trading venue or an over the counter
basis) during the Programme in order to manage their market exposure under the
Programme. Disclosure of such transactions will not be made by Barclays as a
result of or part of the Programme, but Barclays will continue to make any
disclosures they are otherwise legally required to make.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, a copy of the resolution will be
submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
