* Special resolution

 

 

Recognising proposed changes to the Corporate Governance Code (announced after the publication of the Annual Report and Accounts), developing market practice and following feedback from one of our major institutional shareholders, the Board has determined that future LTIP awards for Executive Directors will have a two year post-vesting holding period (of the net of tax number of shares). The resultant five-year timeframe between the grant of an LTIP award and the first opportunity to sell the vested shares will better align the long term interests of shareholders with the interests of the Executive Directors and provide a focus on longer-term outcomes.

 

Notes:

1. Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the resolutions and have been included in the "For" total.

2. A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a resolution.

3. The total number of shares in issue at 6.30pm on 19 January 2018 was 247,659,200. Votes were cast in respect of 67% of the issued share capital.

 

In accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Listing Rule 9.6.2, a copy of the special business passed at the AGM, being resolutions 12 to 17, has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
