LIONTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC
Result of General Meeting
At the General Meeting of Liontrust Asset Management Plc held today, the two resolutions contained in the notice and put to the meeting were unanimously passed on a show of hands. The percentage of proxy votes cast in favour of resolutions 1 and 2 were 60.7% and 61.2% respectively.
Ahead of the General Meeting, the Company proactively sought to engage and consult with our major shareholders, and their representative bodies, over the Directors' Remuneration Policy and the resultant amendments to the Long-Term Incentive Plan.
The Board believes the revised policy is fundamental in supporting the delivery of our strategy and retaining and motivating an exceptional management team to continue to deliver exceptional value for all of our shareholders. Furthermore the changes to the structure support the aim of the Remuneration Committee both to keep the balance of reward significantly tilted towards variable pay for performance rather than fixed and to deliver a greater proportion of remuneration deferred and paid over the longer term thereby increasing the alignment with the interests of shareholders.
While the two resolutions were passed, the Remuneration Committee notes the votes against and will reflect on feedback from those shareholders. The Company will continue its policy of proactive engagement with its shareholders on aspects of remuneration going forward and further engagement is expected with shareholders.
