Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not a vote in law and are therefore not
counted in the calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a resolution. Where shareholders
appointed the Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the
resolutions and their shares have been included in the "votes for" column.
On the date of this announcement, the Company has a total of 133,734,686 ordinary shares of 10p each in issue,
with 1,413,400 of those shares held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights is 132,321,286.
The Board would like to thank shareholders for their engagement and support ahead of the AGM and
throughout the year. While most of the resolutions were passed with significant majorities in favour, the Board
notes that resolutions 4, 5 and 6 passed with majorities of less than 80.0%. Pursuant to provision 4 of the
Association of Investment Companies' Corporate Governance Code (as also set out in the UK Corporate
Governance Code), the Board therefore undertakes to seek to engage with the concerned shareholders in
respect of these resolutions to ensure their views are understood. A further update as to the outcome of any
engagement will be provided within six months of this AGM and will be reported in the next annual report.
In accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2, a copy of the resolutions passed, other than resolutions concerning
ordinary business, at today's AGM will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available
for inspection at National Storage Mechanism | FCA.
