effective as at the close of the AGM.

 

As at 12.00pm on Thursday 4 September 2025, the number of issued shares in
the Company was 208,355,415 ordinary shares, which was the total number of
shares entitling the holders to attend and vote for or against all the
resolutions at the AGM. In accordance with the Company's Articles of
Association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote
for every share held.

 

There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the
resolutions proposed at the AGM. Votes withheld are not votes in law and
therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the
votes for or against a resolution.

 

Pursuant to UK Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all resolutions, other than those
concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM will be submitted to the UK
Listing Authority and will be available to view at
