 (1)  A 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted 
       in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a Resolution. 
      At the date of the AGM the issued share capital of the Company 
       is 419,418,082 ordinary shares. The total number of electronic 
       poll votes received for the 2021 AGM represented approximately 
       79.4% (2020 - 81.3%) of the issued share capital of the Company. 
 

Resolutions 14, 15, 16 and 17 were passed as Special Resolutions, copies of these Resolutions together with the new Articles of Association will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism, which is located at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism

Resolutions 2 (Remuneration Report) and 3 (Remuneration Policy)

The Board notes that Resolution 2 (to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report) and Resolution 3 (to approve the Directors' Remuneration Policy) were both passed, although a minority of shareholders voting (25.77% and 25.82% respectively) chose not to support one or both of these Resolutions.

The Board remains cognisant of the sensitivity surrounding the issue of executive remuneration and, on its behalf, the Remuneration Committee had consulted progressively in the months prior to the 2021 AGM with the Company's largest shareholders and the major governance agencies. The Remuneration Committee will consult further with the Company's major shareholders, and the Company will provide an Update Statement within six months of the 2021 AGM, as required by the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018.
