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:  https://www.lseg.com/investor-relations/shareholder-services/agm-information

 

7.   In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
