"Against" a resolution.
-   The Company's total ordinary shares in issue (total voting rights) as at 10 July 2023, being the record
date at which a person had to be registered in the Company's register of members in order to vote
at the AGM, was 239,482,333 ordinary shares of £0.01 each. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to
one vote per ordinary share held.
