Notes

 

1.         As at the close of business on May 4, 2021, the total number of ordinary shares of US$0.10 eligible to be voted at the AGM was 734,620,989.  Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at that time was 734,620,989.

2.         A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.

A copy of the special business resolutions will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available to view at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism in due course.

Computershare Investor Services PLC acted as scrutineer of the poll on all resolutions.

While all resolutions were passed at today's AGM, the Board notes that resolutions 2 and 14 received a significant number of votes against.

Resolution 2

With respect to Resolution 2, approval of the Remuneration Report, we are pleased that 61.73% of shareholders voted in favour of this resolution, but are disappointed by the outcome of the vote.  In the run up to the AGM we engaged with a number of shareholders to understand their concerns, which we understand related to the termination arrangements for the former Chief Executive Officer, Shaun Thaxter.  The Remuneration Committee determined, based on Mr Thaxter's leadership that produced years of positive operational performance, and the absence of any findings of personal wrongdoing or malfeasance, to allow Mr Thaxter to retain his outstanding LTIP awards.

Resolution 14

Resolution 14 was passed with 78.50% shareholder support for the re-election of Daniel Phelan as a Director.  The Board notes the result of this resolution.

Our shareholders' views are important to us and we intend to continue to engage with our largest shareholders on governance and remuneration matters.  We will publish an update on our engagement within six months of the date of the 2021 AGM.
