The number of ordinary shares in issue (excluding Treasury shares) at the close of business on Monday 14
April 2025 was 2,201,463,243. 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 UK Listing Rules 6.4.1 and 6.4.2, copies of Resolutions 17 and 19 to 21 have been
