*independent resolution

For the purposes of the FCA Listing Rules, the Concert Party (being ESO Investments 2 Limited, Giles Brand, Deanmor Investments, John Hornby and his PCAs) is a controlling shareholder as a result of it holding 74,004,811 shares (35,564,260 shares, 9,466,919 shares and 28,973,632 shares respectively). Each resolution to re-elect independent non-executive directors (resolutions 6, 9, 10 and 11) have under Listing Rule 9.2.2E been approved by a majority of the votes cast by: (i) the shareholders of the Company as a whole; and (ii) the independent shareholders of the Company, that is, all the shareholders entitled to vote on each resolution excluding the controlling shareholder.

Per the Notice of AGM, the members of the Concert Party were not entitled to vote on the Authority for the Company to purchase its own shares or the Rule 9 Waiver Resolutions (Resolutions 18, 20, 21, 22 and 23).

Since the 2022 AGM the Company has engaged regularly with shareholders regarding Resolution 20 - The Rule 9 Waiver and is delighted that the resolution passed with 79.95% of participating independent shareholders voting in favour. However as 20.05% of participating independent shareholders voted against Resolution 20, the Board will continue to engage as appropriate with those shareholders who did not support the Resolution in order to understand the reasons for their vote against the proposal and to continue a transparent and constructive dialogue in this area.

The Board continues to consider that the ability for the Company to buy back shares is in the best interests of all shareholders, particularly in light of the current share price levels, which presents an opportunity to generate attractive returns for all shareholders through allocating capital to buying back ordinary shares.

NOTES:
1.	All Resolutions were passed.
2.	Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the AGM have been included in the "For" total for the appropriate resolution.
