The Board notes that Resolution 4, as a Special Resolution, has not passed. All other resolutions were passed.

The Board notes the votes in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4, regarding the Directors' general power to allot relevant securities (including the authority to allot relevant securities and also the disapplication of pre-emption rights) and will continue to engage with shareholders to improve alignment on the strategy, objectives and most importantly its delivery, as required under the QCA Corporate Governance Code.

The Board still considers the flexibility afforded by these authorities to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and it will continue to consider its approach on this matter and engage with shareholders as appropriate. The Board also notes that the Directors' general power to allot relevant securities was previously in line with institutional shareholder guidance; was a level that is consistent with the approach taken in recent years; and had previously received support at past AGMs.
