Notes: 1. Based on total issued share capital of 758,010,025 ordinary shares. 2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted towards votes cast "For" or "Against" aresolution.

The total voting rights of the Company as at Monday, 18 July 2022, such date being the last day by which shareholders were required to be registered in the register of members in order to be eligible to vote at the GM, were 758,010,025.

As set out in the Notice of GM, the Board is ensuring that the Company complies with European ownership and control requirements by exercising its powers to suspend voting rights of certain UK and non-EU nationals. At the time of the GM, the level of ownership by EU persons was 39.9% and accordingly, the Company has suspended voting rights in respect of certain shares ("Affected Shares") held by non-EU shareholders and the polling results noted above reflect these actions. Such Affected Shares continued to count in the calculation of issued share capital and total voting rights of the Company.

National Storage Mechanism

In accordance with LR 9.6.2, a copy of the resolution has been submitted to the FCA's National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available to view at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
