In relation to Resolution 18, HMRC has confirmed that, as set
out in Schedule 1 of the Notice of Annual General Meeting:
a. the full amount of the FY21 Interim Dividend will continue to
be treated as a distribution for UK tax purposes, meaning such
amount is deemed to have been paid for UK tax purposes as at the
date of payment on 16 June 2021; and
b. the proposed release of claims against shareholders who were
recipients of the Relevant Dividend (the "Recipient Shareholders")
will not impact the tax treatment of the distribution for Recipient
Shareholders who are UK tax resident.
If any UK resident shareholder has any doubts about his or her
tax position, he or she should consult with an independent
professional advisor.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, a copy of the

set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
