The Company notes the significant number of votes cast against:

   -      Resolution 2, the advisory vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report; and 
   -      Resolution 3, the binding vote on the Directors' Remuneration Policy; 

(the "Resolutions").

The Company has noted that the Resolutions are duly passed under the Companies Act 2006.

Nonetheless in view of the significant proportion of votes cast against the Resolutions and the Company's obligations under the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Company takes its responsibility to engage with investors seriously and, therefore, will conduct a thorough assessment of the feedback received.

The total number of shares in issue at the voting date is 63,975,869. A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against the resolution.
