Notes

As at 6.30 p.m. on 17 November 2025, the Company's issued share capital
consisted of 325,109,303

ordinary shares of 37.5p. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in the
capital of the Company in treasury, and therefore, the total voting rights in
the Company as at the voting record time were 325,109,303.

 

Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not a vote
in law and are therefore not counted in the calculation of the percentages of
the votes cast for and against a resolution. Where shareholders appointed the
Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in
favour of the resolutions and their shares have been included in the "votes
for" column.

 

Resolutions 1 to 15 were passed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 16 to
19 were passed as special resolutions.

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 6.4.2 copies of the resolutions (other than
those resolutions comprising ordinary business) approved by shareholders will
be uploaded 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) .

 

A copy of the voting results shown above will also be made available on the
Company's website at www.smiths.com/investors/general-meetings
