* In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, Kristo
Käärmann's voting rights have been capped to one vote below 50% of the total
votes eligible to be cast in respect of any shareholder resolution.
Accordingly, when calculating the total exercisable voting rights for the 2025
AGM, the Company's percentage of issued share capital voted has been reduced
proportionately as explained below.

The Company's issued share capital consists of 1,025,000,252 class A ordinary
shares of £0.01, each carrying one vote ("Class A Shares") and 214,084,255
class B ordinary shares of £0.000000001 ("Class B Shares"). The Company does
not hold any Class A Shares or Class B Shares in treasury.

The total number of voting rights attributable to the Class A Shares is
1,025,000,252, and the total number of voting rights attributable to the Class
B Shares is 1,926,758,295. Therefore the total number of voting rights in the
Company in aggregate across the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares is
2,951,758,547.

When accounting for the total number of Class B Share voting rights that will
be restricted as a result of the above mentioned cap, the total exercisable
voting rights in the Company in aggregate across the Class A Shares and Class
B Shares is 2,617,358,175.

** Special resolution

*** A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution.

 

 

 

Notes:

Equiniti, the Company's Share Registrar, acted as scrutineer of the poll on
all resolutions.
