ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company is a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales, admitted to the equity shares (commercial company) category of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. As a result, it follows the UK Corporate Governance Code (the “UK Code”) in respect of its corporate governance practices. The 2018 edition of the UK Code came into effect for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and was effective to the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Companies Act 2006 (the “UK Act”) and the UK Listing Rules impose certain requirements that also influence our corporate governance practices. Furthermore, as a result of the listing of the Company’s ADSs on the NYSE and the Company’s registration under the Exchange Act, we follow the applicable U.S. federal securities laws and regulations, as well as the rules of the NYSE, in particular the corporate governance standards under Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. We comply with these standards to the extent such provisions are applicable to us as a foreign private issuer.
We are required to disclose any significant ways in which the Company’s corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards under Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. In connection with the Company’s compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, amongst other things, we have reviewed the corporate governance practices required to be followed by U.S. domestic companies under the NYSE listing standards and our corporate governance practices are generally consistent with those standards.
The below summaries of our corporate governance practices include disclosures regarding the significant ways in which they differ from those followed by U.S. domestic companies under the NYSE listing standards.

The Board has determined that all our Non-Executive Directors are independent and have retained their independence of character and judgement. In coming to this conclusion, the Board has taken into account any indicators of potential non-independence as set out in the UK Code, as well as the independence requirements outlined in the NYSE’s listing standards.
