A 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is, therefore, not included in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.  The 'for' vote includes those giving the Chairman discretion.

 

The total number of voting rights as at voting record date were 511,761,463 shares of £0.01 each.

 

With regards to resolution 16, further to the passing of this resolution at the AGM on 20 January 2022 and in line with the strategy update announced on 7 July 2021, the Company name will be changed to Countryside Partnerships PLC.
