Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not a vote
in law and are therefore not counted in the calculation of the percentages of
the votes cast for and against a resolution. Where shareholders appointed the
Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in
favour of the resolutions and their shares have been included in the "votes
for" column.
On the date of this announcement, the Company has a total of 133,734,686
ordinary shares of 10p each in issue, with 1,413,400 of those shares held in
Treasury. The total number of voting rights is 132,321,286.
The Board would like to thank shareholders for their engagement and support
ahead of the AGM and throughout the year. While most of the resolutions were
passed with significant majorities in favour, the Board notes that resolutions
4, 5 and 6 passed with majorities of less than 80.0%. Pursuant to provision 4
of the Association of Investment Companies' Corporate Governance Code (as also
set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code), the Board therefore undertakes
to seek to engage with the concerned shareholders in respect of these
resolutions to ensure their views are understood. A further update as to the
outcome of any engagement will be provided within six months of this AGM and
will be reported in the next annual report.
In accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2, a copy of the resolutions passed,
other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, at today's AGM will be
submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for
inspection at National Storage Mechanism | FCA
