* These figures include proxy votes. Where shareholders have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy with discretion as to voting on the resolutions, those votes have been cast in favour of the relevant resolutions. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, withheld votes therefore do not form part of the total votes cast.

Resolutions 2, 5 and 6
The Board notes the results of resolution 2 to approve the Remuneration Policy and resolutions 5 and 6 to approve the Company's PSP and RSP share plans. These resolutions were supported by a clear majority of the Company's shareholders, but with a significant minority vote against. It is notable that the number of shares voted at the 2025 AGM was approximately 17% less than those voted at the 2023 AGM. This decrease correlates with a similar percentage of the Company's shares outstanding at the 2025 AGM which did not vote because they are held through swap structures, primarily by longer-term shareholders who are supportive of the Remuneration Policy and related resolutions. The Remuneration Committee is committed to continuing its engagement with shareholders to understand the views of shareholders who voted against these resolutions. An update of this engagement will be published within six months, as well as a final summary in the Company's Annual Report for 2025.
