** A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in
the calculation of percentages of votes cast For and Against a

The Board notes that, while all of the resolutions at today's
Annual General Meeting were passed with the requisite majority,
Resolution 2 (Approval of the Remuneration Report) passed with
78.64% of votes in favour.
Following recent engagement on our Remuneration Report with our
major shareholders, we would like to thank those who discussed
their views with us. FY2021 was an exceptional year due to the
Covid-19 pandemic which resulted in some challenging circumstances
for the Remuneration Committee to consider. We were reassured that
a good majority of shareholders were supportive of the decisions
taken. That said, we acknowledge that some shareholders did not
agree.
Following the AGM, the Remuneration Committee will continue to
engage with our major shareholders to fully understand their
concerns. We will publish an update on our engagement within six
months of the AGM, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance
Code.
As at the date of the AGM, the number of issued shares of the
Company was 528,509,631.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the
resolutions passed as special business at the Annual General
Meeting will shortly be available for inspection at the National
Storage Mechanism which can be accessed at
