AGM Results20 Dec 2022 14:32
There are some troubling messages which have once again surfaced in the results of AGM resolutions. Aside from the general kick back on director remuneration (Article 2 - 80% for, 20% against), there was a reasonable vote against reappointing C. Mills as a director (6% against + a further c.20% withholding their votes) and even more worrying there was a large vote against reappointing Mount Sinai's non executive director Erik Lium (83% for, 17% against) - Erik sits on the remuneration committee so there may be a link back to Article 2 voting - or what's the issue with Mount Sinai? All directors voted in favour of all resolutions (representing 37% of all shares issued) so - somewhere, a number of parties controlling c.10% of the companies shares (which have not individually reached the 3% declaration threshold) are not happy with Mills, Sinai and general director compensation and are making their voice's heard - albeit all resolutions were carried. Not great that we have lost almost all the gains of recent weeks - in a generally improving market. SB
