NOTES:
1. The 'For' vote includes proxy appointments which gave the Chair discretion on how to vote.
2. A vote 'Withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution nor in the calculation of the percentage of the issued share capital voted for any resolution.
3. Resolutions 16 to 19 were Special Resolutions requiring a 75% majority.
4. As at 6.30 pm on 22 May 2024 the total number of ordinary shares in issue, and therefore total number of voting rights was 250,000,000. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury at that time.
5. As per Listing Rule 9.6.2 a copy of the full text of the resolutions passed at the Annual General Meeting (including resolutions concerning special business) will shortly be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk. A copy is also available on Sabre's website - https://www.sabreplc.co.uk/investors/annual-general-meeting/
