As at 6.30pm on Monday 19 July 2021, the number of issued shares
in the Company was 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares. This was the
total number of shares entitling the holders to attend and vote for
or against all 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 casting votes on any
of the resolutions proposed at the AGM. Votes withheld are not
votes in law. Therefore, they have not been counted in the
calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a
resolution.

other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM
today have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and
