Result of General Meeting

The Company announces that the Resolution in connection with the proposed Disposal of its interests in the Agricultural Supplies Division was passed by Shareholders at a General Meeting held today at 9:30 a.m. Further details of the Resolution are set out in the Circular, which was published on 31 August 2022 and posted to Shareholders on 1 September 2022.

The final votes received in respect of the Resolution were as follows:

* A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted towards to proportion of votes "For" and "Against" the Resolution.

Completion of the Disposal is expected to occur before the end of October 2022 and is conditional upon the satisfaction and/or waiver (where applicable) of the conditions precedent to the Transaction, as further detailed in the Circular.

In accordance with the Company's obligations under Listing Rule 9.6.2, an electronic copy of the Resolution passed at the General Meeting has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for viewing at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
