How to vote
Your vote is important to us. At the Meeting, all proposed resolutions will be put to a vote on a poll. This is the most democratic way of voting and results in a more accurate reflection of shareholders’ views by ensuring that every vote cast is recognised. If you are unable to attend the AGM in person, we strongly encourage you to vote in advance by appointing the Chair of the Meeting or another duly nominated person as your proxy.
You may appoint another person as your duly appointed proxy; however, please bear in mind if your proxy is unable to attend the Meeting, they will not be able to vote your shares.
Our registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets, must receive your online or postal proxy appointment and voting instructions by 10.30am on Tuesday, 3 February 2026 at the latest to ensure that your vote is counted. Details of how to submit a proxy and how to obtain a paper proxy are set out on page 14 of the Notice, to find out more click here.
