Notes:

 

1.   A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the proportion of the votes "for" and "against" a resolution.

2.   The issued share capital figure used to calculate the percentage voted
is 318,336,301. This is the figure as at the close of business on 30 April
2025 and excludes the number of ordinary shares held in treasury at that date.

3.   As announced on 31 March 2025, Jim Mullen stepped down from his role as
Chief Executive and director of the Company with immediate effect, with the
consequence that the resolution to re-elect Jim Mullen as a director of the
Company included as resolution 5 in the Notice of AGM was to be withdrawn. At
the same time, it was also announced that Piers North had been appointed as
Chief Executive and director of the Company and an additional resolution was
proposed as resolution 21 in the Supplement to the Notice of AGM, to elect
Piers North as a director of the Company.
