i)* A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in
the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against
resolutions.
ii) Any votes that give discretion to the Chair have been
included in the "For" total.
iii) At close of business on 17 September 2024 there were
32,951,971 shares in issue.
The Board notes that more than 20%
of the votes cast on resolutions 10 and 11 (the former of which is
an advisory vote) were against those resolutions. It takes the
outcome of shareholder votes very seriously and will engage with
shareholders to understand their views. In accordance with the UK
Corporate Governance Code, the Company will publish the outcome of
this engagement in the next six months.
In accordance with Listing Rule
9.6.2, copies of the resolutions passed as special business of the
meeting will be uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism and will
shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
