As announced on 29 February 2024, Rhian Davies did not stand for re-election and stepped down as a Director at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

For the purposes of section 341 of the Companies Act 2006, the votes validly cast are expressed in the table above as a percentage of Schroders' total issued ordinary share capital as at 6pm on 23 April 2024, being the time at which a shareholder had to be registered in the register of members in order to attend and vote at the AGM. A vote "withheld" is not a vote in law and has not been counted as a vote "for" or "against" a resolution.

The number of ordinary shares in issue at the date of this announcement is 1,612,071,525.

Resolutions 20 and 21 were passed as special resolutions. Copies of resolutions 18, 19, 20 and 21 will be filed at Companies House.

  • In accordance with Listing Rule 9.2.2E, to be passed, resolutions 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10 to 13 must be approved by a simple majority of all shareholders and by a simple majority of the independent

shareholders. The results of the independent shareholder vote on the applicable Resolutions are set out in 4*, 6*, 7*, 8* and 10* to 13*.

The Schroders issued ordinary share capital used for Resolutions 4*, 6*, 7*, 8* and 10* to 13* is 901,202,939 which is the total number of ordinary shares held by independent shareholders.

  • Only the votes of independent shareholders have been counted in determining the result of Resolution 19.

In accordance with LR 9.6.2, a copy of the resolutions passed, other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, at today's AGM will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

The Chair's and Chief Executive's AGM update and a summary of the questions asked on the day and by email will be published on the AGM page of our website at www.schroders.com/AGM.
