* Votes received supporting the resolution or granting the Chairman or other third party discretion to vote on their behalf in respect of the resolution.

The LSL Board notes the significant votes against Resolution 15 (to disapply pre-emption rights - acquisitions) and Resolution 18 (to authorise the holding of a general meeting on not less than 14 days' notice) notwithstanding prior engagement with Shareholders, and approval of such resolutions in previous years. Both resolutions are customarily proposed and passed by listed companies in the UK, and are in line with institutional investor guidance. The LSL Board understands that certain of its Shareholders typically vote against these resolutions as a matter of general principle. As always, the LSL Board will reflect on the feedback that it has received and will continue to consult with Shareholders to understand their concerns.

Copies of the special business resolutions passed at the Annual General Meeting have been submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will shortly be available through the National Storage Mechanism hosted by Morningstar plc on behalf of the UK Listing Authority.
