Notes:

(1) Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the AGM have been included in the "For" total of the appropriate resolution.

(2) A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" any resolution, nor in the calculation of the proportion of "Percentage of ISC voted" for any resolution.

(3) The percentage of votes "For" and "Against" any resolution is expressed as a percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution.

(4) The Board notes that resolution 19 is a special resolution and had 27.29%, of votes cast against it, and therefore did not pass. The Board will continue its ongoing dialogue with Shareholders and consult as appropriate to fully understand any concerns in relation to these resolutions. In accordance with provision 4 of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board shall provide an update on these engagements within six months of the AGM.

The proportion of "Percentage of ISC voted" for any resolution is the total of votes "For" and "Against" in respect of that resolution expressed as a percentage of the ISC as described in this note.

(6) As explained in the Company's 2023 Notice of AGM, Michael Daly stepped d own as a Director at the conclusion of the AGM.
