(1) Includes those votes giving the Chairman discretion

(2) A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution.

The Board notes the result of the votes against Resolutions 12 and 13 (the re-appointment of William Eccleshare and Ian McHoul). While we understand that the concerns relate to calls on their time, the Board is confident that both William and Ian discharge their roles as non-executive directors effectively, and, in the case of Ian, Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Audit Committee. Further, they are both highly active independent non-executive directors, and each has the capacity to meet their respective commitments to the Company not only in respect of their day-to-day obligations to the Company, but also at times of increased demand. Indeed, even amid the challenging conditions created by the global pandemic, both Directors attendance record was no less than 100%, notwithstanding their other commitments. Finally, and more generally, the time commitment of all Directors is a matter that the Nominations Committee takes highly seriously and keeps under regular review, this year and every year.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions passed that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for viewing at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

The results will also be made available on the Company's website at www.britvic.com/investors/shareholder-centre/agm.
