Company and HM Treasury was approved by the shareholders of the Company at a General Meeting held on 6 February 2019 and signed on 7 February
2019. Amendments to the Directed Buyback Contract were approved by the shareholders of the Company at a General Meeting held on 25 August
2022 and signed on 17 November 2022. The authority from shareholders to make off-market purchases of Ordinary Shares from HM Treasury
(or its nominee) under the terms of the Directed Buyback Contract was renewed at the Annual General Meeting on 25 April 2023.</P>

purchased Ordinary Shares and hold the remaining 133,000,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury. Holding Ordinary Shares as treasury shares gives
the Company the ability to cancel or re-issue such Ordinary Shares at a later date, quickly and cost effectively, and may provide the
Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base, including the allotment of Ordinary Shares in relation to its
employee share plans.</P>
