The AGM approved possible future share allotments, exclusions of pre-emption rights and share purchases; the filing does not report that any occurred, so it establishes corporate capacity rather than a current issuance, buyback or dilution event.

special resolution regulatory

"*Special resolution **A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law"

A special resolution is a formal shareholder vote that requires a higher-than-normal majority—typically around three-quarters—to approve major corporate changes, such as altering the company’s governing rules, selling the business, or winding it up. It matters to investors because it signals decisive, potentially value-altering actions that cannot be passed by a simple majority; think of it as needing extra votes to change the rules of a club, so minority interests are harder to override.

pre-emption rights regulatory

"18* | To disapply pre-emption rights | 3,753,765,294 | 98.22"

A shareholder’s right to be offered new shares before they are sold to outsiders, allowing existing owners to buy enough to keep their ownership percentage. Think of it like being offered the first slice of a pie so your share doesn’t shrink; it matters to investors because it protects voting power and economic value from being diluted when a company issues more stock, and it can affect how easy or costly fundraising is.

Issued Share Capital regulatory

"The percentage of Issued Share Capital voted on was 76.92%"

Issued share capital is the total value or number of a company's shares that have been created and given to investors, employees or others; think of it as the slices of a cake that have already been cut and distributed. It matters to investors because it determines ownership percentages, potential voting power and how future share sales can dilute existing holdings, affecting share value and control.

National Storage Mechanism regulatory

"submitted to the FCA via the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly"

A national storage mechanism is an official, centralized electronic repository where companies and regulators file and keep required corporate documents such as prospectuses, financial statements and regulatory disclosures. For investors it is the authoritative public source to find and verify key papers — like using a government-run public archive or filing cabinet — so you can check the original documents for due diligence, compliance and to confirm claims made in news or marketing.
