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 and against a
resolution.
As at 18:30 (UK time) on 21 May 2024, the number
of voting shares of the Company was 2,380,253,857 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.
