Resolutions 1 to 9 as set out in the notice of meeting for the 2025 AGM were passed by the required majority; and |

Resolution 10, to wind up the Company effective on 31 December 2027, was not passed by the required majority. |
in each case following a poll.
Resolutions 1 to 8 were proposed as Ordinary Resolutions and resolutions 9 and 10 were proposed as Special Resolutions.
In the notice of the 2025 AGM dated 13 May 2025, the Board had recommended that shareholders vote in favour Resolutions 1 to 9 and against Resolution 10.
The Board notes that, in relation to Resolution 10, votes constituting 41.06% of the total votes cast were cast in favour of the resolution, contrary to the Board's recommendation. The Board believes that most of the votes in favour of Resolution 10 were centred on a small number of sizeable shareholders.
