The Company's issued capital as at 31 July 2024 consisted of 2,432,411,924 Ordinary Shares of 28 101/108 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), with voting rights. 209,245,891 Ordinary Shares were held in Treasury, in respect of which, voting rights were not exercised.
 
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company was 2,223,166,033 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidelines and Transparency Rules.
