1. The percentages voted 'For' and 'Against' are expressed as a
proportion of the total votes cast, which does not include votes
withheld since for legal purposes a vote withheld is not a vote
cast.
2. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman
of the meeting have been included in the 'For' totals.
3. As at 6:00 p.m. on 5 September 2023 (being the record time
for calculating voting rights at the Annual General Meeting), the
Company had 195,857,207 Ordinary Shares in issue and the total
number of voting rights in respect of these Ordinary Shares was
195,857,207, each Ordinary Share carrying one vote.
The Board notes the level of votes cast against resolution 15,
the additional dis-application of pre-emption rights. The
resolutions proposed were entirely in line with the Statement of
Principles published by the Pre-Emption Group in November 2022 and
the specific authority sought under this resolution would have been
limited to issuance of equity for cash in connection with an
acquisition or specified capital investment. The Board is aware
that market practice in relation to the dis-application of
pre-emption rights has yet to settle on a consensus position,
notwithstanding the Austin Review of secondary capital raising and
the subsequent amendment of the Statement of Principles by the
Pre-Emption Group. As recommended in the UK Corporate Governance
Code, the Board will engage with its largest shareholders regarding
the voting result in relation to pre-emption.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, a copy of the
Resolutions that were carried, other than those concerning ordinary
business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism,
where they will shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism . In
addition, a copy of the Resolutions that were carried will also be
filed with Companies House.
The results of the Annual General Meeting held on 7 September
2023 will be available to view on the Company's website at
