Notes
1. Please note a 'vote
withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the
calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
2. As at 6.30pm on 23
April 2024, the share capital of the Company consisted of a total
of 543,397,189 ordinary shares made up of: (i) 536,976,805 voting
ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each (excluding treasury shares), which
carry one vote each; and (ii) 6,420,384 of
its ordinary shares of 679/86
pence each in treasury.
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in LSEG as at that
time were 536,976,805.
3. Ordinary shareholders
are entitled to one vote per share.
4. Under the Companies
Act 2006, the Consortium Shareholders were not permitted to vote
the ordinary shares to which Resolution 24 relates.
5. The percentages above
are rounded to two decimal places.
6. Results of the poll
will also be available shortly on the Company's website:

7. In accordance with
Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions that do not
