Board response to Resolution 3 - approval of the Directors' Remuneration Report
While the Board notes that all other resolutions were passed with strong majorities, we acknowledge that the advisory vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report was passed with 55.4%. We have consulted with a number of shareholders and understand that the payment of transaction bonuses was the element of the 2022 remuneration to which a significant number of shareholders objected. We have set out in the 2022 Directors' Remuneration Report the revised remuneration structure adopted from 2023 onwards, with a rebalancing of incentives in favour of longer term objectives, and confirm that in future, transaction bonuses will not be paid.
