Statement regarding voting result

 

We are pleased to have received shareholder support for all the resolutions proposed at the AGM but we are naturally disappointed with the lower level of support received for our Remuneration Report for the year ending 31 March 2018.

 

Historically, both the remuneration report and our remuneration policy have received overwhelming shareholder support and over the past two weeks we have been in dialogue with our major shareholders and proxy advisers to discuss their questions and concerns.

 

We understand that the lower level of support for the remuneration report is, in the most part, attributable to the annual bonus payment to BT's Chief Executive for the 2017/18 performance year. During the remainder of 2018 we will engage further with our shareholders and proxy advisers to understand in full detail the reasons for their concerns and whether we should consider any changes to our longer term approach to remuneration.

 

 

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the resolutions passed, other than ordinary business, will be submitted to the UK Listing Authority ("UKLA") and will be available to view on the National Storage Mechanism website at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do

 

The total number of shares in issue as at 6.30pm on 9 July 2018, excluding shares held in treasury was 9,921,902,900. 70.03% of the voting capital was instructed.
