Sue Farr and Dimitri Panayotopoulos stepped down from the Board as Non-Executive Directors at the conclusion of the Company's 2024 AGM.

The number of ordinary shares in issue (excluding Treasury shares) at the close of business on Tuesday 23 April 2024 was 2,230,669,954. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution. All valid proxy votes (whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form) were included in the poll. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chair have been included in the total votes 'for' the respective resolutions.

In accordance with Listing Rules 9.6.2R and 9.6.3R, copies of Resolutions 16 to 18 will be submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority and will in due course be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
