For information: (a) the total number of voting shares in issue at the time of
the AGM was 38,026,087, (b) the "For" column includes those votes giving the
Chair of the meeting discretion, and (c) a “vote withheld" is not a vote in
law and has not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes
cast "for" or "against" a resolution.

The Board notes that although resolution 2 (Directors Remuneration report)
passed with the requisite majority, it received more than 20% of votes against
the Board's recommendation. The Board takes the views expressed by
shareholders seriously and has already proactively engaged with shareholders
to understand their views, in accordance with the QCA Corporate Governance
Code.
