The Directors of the Company wish to advise you of certain changes that will

methodology applied by the index provider to calculate the minimum 7%
year-on-year annual decarbonisation trajectory target for the Index.

 

In addition to the Index methodology changes described above, the name of the
Index will also be changed to the "New name of the Index", as set out in the
