published by the Company on 11 October 2021 (the “Circular”), was duly passed without amendment on
a poll by the requisite majority of shareholders of the Company. Capitalised terms used but not otherwise

*** A ‘vote withheld’ is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of votes ‘for’ and ‘against’ the Resolution.
The Resolution passed at the General Meeting enables the Directors to proceed with the proposed
Interim 2021 Dividend and Enhanced Scrip Dividend Alternative, as set out in the Circular. Cash
payments in respect of the Interim 2021 Dividend and the date of issue, admission and first day of

Exchange is expected to be Tuesday, 7 December 2021.
The Board retains the discretion to withdraw or modify the terms of the Enhanced Scrip Dividend
Alternative and the Interim 2021 Dividend, because there are certain situations in which the Board may
decide that it is no longer appropriate to pay the Interim 2021 Dividend and to offer the Enhanced Scrip
Dividend Alternative, or it may not be permissible for the Company to do so.
