Notes
1. Please note a 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
2. As at 6.30pm on 29 April 2025, the share capital of the Company consisted of a total of 543,599,966 ordinary shares made up of: (i) 529,486,220 voting ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each (excluding treasury shares), which carry one vote each; and (ii) 14,113,746 of its ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in LSEG as at that time were 529,486,220.
3. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.
4. The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.
5. Results of the poll will also be available shortly on the Company's website: https://www.lseg.com/en/investor-relations/annual-general-meeting
Resolution 3 - Directors' Remuneration Report
The Company acknowledges that whilst a majority of shareholders voted in favour of Resolution 3 (the Directors' Remuneration Report), the overall vote in favour was below 80 per cent. The Board consulted with shareholders on this matter and will continue to engage with them and carefully consider any further shareholder feedback. We will publish an update on that engagement within six months of the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code.
In accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2, copies of the resolutions that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
