As previously announced Caroline Foulger, the Company's Chair prior to this
meeting, did not stand for re-election in line with UK corporate governance
guidelines having completed a nine-year tenure as director of the Company. The
succession process is well progressed including the recruitment of new
non-executive directors. Shareholders will be updated in due course and until
then the Board has agreed that Steve Pearce will serve as interim Chair.

The Board would like to thank Caroline for the considerable contribution she
has made over the last nine years and wishes her every success for the future.

Shareholder Engagement

The Board notes that although the resolution to re-elect Peter Dubens was
passed with a substantial majority, there were a material number of votes cast
against. While the composition of our Board complies with the independence
requirements of the UK Listing Rules and the AIC Code, we understand that some
shareholders have a policy of voting against the re-election of any directors
who are not independent or who they do not believe to be independent. The
Board has engaged with these shareholders in the past to discuss their
position and concerns and will continue to do so in the future.
