Notes:
1. Total ordinary shares in issue at the date of the meeting were 468,429,541. Total ordinary shares held by shareholders excluding the controlling shareholder at the date of the meeting were 186,204,435.
2. Any proxy appointments giving discretion to "the Chair of the meeting" have been included in the "For" totals above.
3. Resolutions 7,8,9 and 10 will be counted separately excluding the controlling shareholder.
4. "Withheld" is not a vote in law and therefore is excluded from the calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.
The full text of the resolutions can be found in the notice of annual general meeting which is available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. and on the Company's website https://www.rank.com/investors/shareholder-centre/shareholder-meetings/
