As at 6.30pm on Monday 18 July 2022, the number of issued shares
in the Company was 956,193,475 ordinary shares. This was the total

Company's articles of association, on a poll every member present
in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.

of the resolutions proposed at the AGM. Votes withheld are not

calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a
resolution.
