Ordinary resolution 16 (allotment of shares) and special resolutions 17 and 18 (disapplication of pre-emption rights)
The Board notes that, although resolutions 16, 17 and 18 were passed with the necessary majority, 22.84%, 21.51% and 21.51%
of votes cast were against resolutions 16, 17 and 18, respectively. These resolutions are considered routine for listed companies
in the UK and are within the Investment Association's share capital management guidelines. Following shareholder consultation,
the level of authority sought (and approved by shareholders today) is less than that typically sought by UK listed companies. The
Board is aware, however, that certain overseas institutional investors have a policy of not supporting these authorities for the
Directors to issue shares and disapply pre-emption rights. The Board considers the flexibility afforded by these authorities to be in
the best interests of the Company and shareholders.
In accordance with provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the 'Code'), the Board confirms that it will consult and continue
to engage with relevant shareholders to understand the reasons behind those votes against. An update will be provided within six
months of the AGM, in accordance with the Code, with a final summary to be included in the Company's 2026 annual report and
accounts.
