Resolutions 1 to 6 were proposed as ordinary resolutions and Resolutions 7 to 11 were proposed as special resolutions. Votes withheld are not a vote in law and are not considered in counting the total votes for and against.

While all resolutions were passed, the Board notes the voting result on the resolution for the re-election of the Board Chairman, John B. McGuckian, in his role as Chair of the Nominations Committee, and the advisory resolution on the Report of the Remuneration Committee. As part of ongoing engagement with shareholders ahead of the AGM, the Board received feedback from some shareholders concerning Board gender diversity and certain aspects of executive director remuneration. The Board has a clear understanding of those shareholder views and expectations and will continue its programme of engagement with shareholders on this and other matters.

Copies of the resolutions passed will be submitted to the Euronext Dublin and the UK National Storage Mechanism. These will shortly be available for inspection at Companies Announcements Office, Euronext Dublin, The Exchange, Foster Place, Dublin 2, and at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
