+ Special
resolution
The full text of Resolutions 17 to 23 (inclusive) is set out in the
Notice of Annual General Meeting and explanation of business dated
22 April 2022.
Anthony Nightingale and Alice Schroeder did not stand for
re-election as Non-Executive Directors of the Company, and retired
from the Board with effect from the conclusion of the
AGM.
As at 10.00am UK time/ 5.00pm Hong Kong/Singapore time on 24 May
2022, the number of issued shares of the Company was 2,749,306,856
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 18 which affected a total of
398,485 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, with Shriti Vadera,
Jeremy Anderson, Chua Sock Koong, Mark FitzPatrick, David Law,
Alice Schroeder, James Turner and Tom Watjen attending in person,
while Ming Lu, Anthony Nightingale, Philip Remnant, George
Sartorel, Jeanette Wong and Amy Yip joined the AGM
electronically.
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 26 May 2022, will shortly be available to view
on the National Storage Mechanism at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
