("Benchmark" or the "Company")

Total Voting Rights

In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Company notifies that as of 31 July 2025, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 615,377,895 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), all with voting rights. No shares are currently held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company as of 30 June 2025 is therefore 615,377,895.

The change is due to (i) the cancellation of 127,720,171 Ordinary Shares following the completion of the Tender Offer, as announced on 25 July 2025, and (ii) the exercise of options by current and former employees of the Company under its block admission as part of the proposed delisting of the Company.

The above figure (615,377,895 Ordinary Shares) may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company.
