* As at the date of the AGM, the number of issued shares of the Company was 2,539,013,008 ordinary shares, which was the total number of shares entitling the holders to attend and vote for or against all resolutions at the AGM. In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy will have one vote for every share held.

There was no share entitling the holder to attend and vote only against the resolutions at the AGM. 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. The Principal Share Registrar of the Company, Equiniti Limited, was appointed as a scrutineer for vote-taking at the AGM.
