Notes:
1. Any proxy
appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been
included in the "for" total.
2. The
Group's issued capital (excluding treasury shares) on 20 September
2024 (being the record date for voting at the meeting) was
246,091,423 ordinary shares of 50p each and 1,000,000 preference
shares of 50 pence each which do not carry voting rights on the
above resolutions. Each ordinary share carries the right to
one vote and, as the Company held 20,252,974 ordinary shares in
treasury on 20 September 2024 (being the record date for voting at
the meeting) there were 225,838,449 voting rights in the
Group.
3. A "vote withheld" is
not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the
proportion of the votes "for" and "against" a
resolution.
4. In accordance with
Listing Rules 9.6.2R and 9.6.3R, a copy of the resolutions passed,
other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, will shortly
