Notes:
1) The total number of shares in issue at 24 May 2022 was 765,054,109.
2) Where shareholders appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their
proxy with discretion as to voting, those votes have been cast in favour of
the resolutions and are included in the total of those votes for.
3) Certified copies of resolutions 13 to 17 have been submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at:
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
(https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism) .
4) A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the proportion of votes validly cast.
We are pleased Resolution 2 to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report was
passed by a clear majority. However, we recognise that despite the exercise of
negative discretion to reduce Executive bonuses by 40%, a significant
proportion of our shareholders did not support the resolution. We shall
continue to engage with our shareholders in the coming months to better
understand their concerns and how they can be taken into account as part of
the normal policy review leading to the renewal of our policy at the 2023 AGM.
A copy of this announcement confirming the voting figures will be displayed
shortly on the Company's website at www.trgplc.com.
