As announced on 10 February 2026, Rakhi Goss-Custard did not stand for
re-election and stepped down as a Director at the conclusion of today's Annual
General Meeting.

 

For the purposes of section 341 of the Companies Act 2006, the votes validly
cast are expressed in the table above as a percentage of Schroders' total
issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 6pm on 14
April 2026, being the time at which a shareholder had to be registered in the
register of members in order to attend and vote at the AGM.  A vote
"withheld" is not a vote in law and has not been counted as a vote "for" or
"against" a resolution.

 

The number of ordinary shares in issue at the date of this announcement is
1,612,071,525. The total number of shares held in treasury is 1,360,247 and
therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 1,610,711,278.

 

Resolutions 19 and 20 were passed as special resolutions. Copies of
resolutions 18, 19 and 20 will be filed at Companies House.

 

* In accordance with UKLR 6.2.8, to be passed, resolutions 5 and 9 to 13 must
be approved by a simple majority of all shareholders and by a simple majority
of the independent shareholders. The results of the independent shareholder
vote on the applicable Resolutions are set out in 5*, 9*, 10*, 11*, 12* and
13*.

 

The Schroders issued ordinary share capital used for Resolutions 5*, 9*, 10*,
11*, 12* and 13* is 898,054,870, which is the total number of ordinary shares
held by independent shareholders.

 

ǂ Only the votes of independent shareholders have been counted in determining
the result of Resolution 18.

 

In accordance with UKLR 6.4.2, a copy of the resolutions passed, other than
resolutions concerning ordinary business, at today's AGM will be submitted to
the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
(https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism) .

 

The Chair's and Group Chief Executive's AGM update will be published on the
AGM page of our website at www.schroders.com/AGM
