1. The number of Shares in issue as at the voting record time of 12.30 p.m. (London time) on 8 May 2025 (the "Voting Record Time") was 195,978,716. As at that date no Shares were held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at the Voting Record Time was 195,978,716.
2. A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against the resolution.
On 17 April 2025 the Board declared a pre-liquidation interim dividend of 3.9p per Share, reflecting 1.95p per Share in respect of the period ended 28 February 2025 and 1.95p per Share for the period up to 31 May 2025, which would be payable on 16 May 2025 to shareholders on the register on 2 May 2025, conditional on the passing of the special resolution at the First General Meeting. This condition has been satisfied and the dividend will be paid.
