*Special resolution
 
The full text of Resolutions 17 to 30 (inclusive) is set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and explanation of business dated 21 April 2023.
 
As at 10.30am UK time/ 5.30pm Hong Kong/Singapore time on 23 May 2023, the number of issued shares of the Company was 2,753,212,731 ordinary shares, which was the total number of shares entitling the holders to attend and vote for or against all of the resolutions at the AGM. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.
 
There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM, save for the Directors (excluding independent non-executive directors) and their respective associates who were required to abstain, and have abstained from voting on Resolution 24 which affected a total of 76,900 voting rights. Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against a resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chair have been included in the total of votes 'for' the respective resolutions. The scrutineer of the poll was Equiniti Financial Services Limited, the Company's Share Registrar.
 
All Directors of the Company attended the AGM in person.
 
Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.2 of the UK Listing Rules, a copy of all resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM on 25 May 2023, will shortly be available to view on the National Storage Mechanism at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
