Votes “for” and “against” are expressed as a percentage of the total votes cast (excluding votes withheld). The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of votes “for” or “against” a resolution. Votes withheld are included in the percentage of issued share capital (‘ISC’) voted (excluding shares held in Treasury) calculation. The total number of Ordinary Shares of 50p each in the Company in issue, excluding 21,724,180 treasury shares registered in the Company’s name, at close of business on 11 May 2021 and the number used for the percentage of ISC voted was 668,015,439. Resolution 4 was passed, with a majority 77.99% shareholder support for the re-election of Philip Aiken AM as a Director of the Company. The Board notes the result of this resolution which we understand has arisen due to concerns about board diversity. We engaged widely with shareholders during the year and will continue to do so. We will publish an update on this engagement, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, within six months of the 2021 AGM. In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of each of Resolutions 14 to 20 will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
