All resolutions were passed at the Company's AGM today with the requisite majority of votes.

The number of ordinary shares in issue (excluding Treasury shares) at the close of business on Monday 14 April 2025 was 2,201,463,243. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution. All valid proxy votes (whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form) were included in the poll. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chair have been included in the total votes 'for' the respective resolutions.

In accordance with UK Listing Rules 6.4.1 and 6.4.2, copies of Resolutions 17 and 19 to 21 have been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority, and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
