AGM Voting Update - Director Declaration
The Board of Consort Medical plc (the 'Company') has reviewed the feedback received from certain shareholders on their reasons for voting against the re-election of Mr Ian Nicholson to the Board at the AGM held in September 2018 in respect of which a vote of more than 20% against was received.
The Board understand that the one issue of concern was Ian's reappointment to the Remuneration Committee during 2018 in respect of which it was felt that Mr Nicholson could not be considered an independent non-executive Director due to his relationship as a consultant to the Group between March to April 2017, when Mr Nicholson provided three days of consultancy services in respect of a potential acquisition opportunity.
The Board has listened to and respects the views of its shareholders on this issue. Accordingly, and in accordance with Rule 9.6.11 (3) of the UK Listing Rules, the Company gives notice that following a review of the Remuneration Committee Membership it has been agreed that Mr Nicholson will step down from the Remuneration Committee with immediate effect.
