The Board notes that whilst all resolutions were supported by the majority of all shareholders, Resolution 3(a) received votes against of 23.8% and Resolution 6 received votes against of 20.1%. The Company will engage with shareholders in the coming months to develop a deeper understanding of the variety of views we have heard on the AGM resolutions over the past few weeks.
Notes to AGM figures:
1 | The percentage of votes "For" and "Against" each resolution are expressed as a percentage of the total votes cast "For" and "Against" the resolution (together the "Total Votes"). A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" and "Against" a resolution. |
|
|
2 | The "% of Total Voting Rights" column shows the percentage that the Total Votes on that resolution represent of the total number of voting rights attached to shares in issue at the date of the AGM. The total number of voting rights attached to shares in issue at the meeting record date was 181,648,837. |
