In accordance with paragraph 4 of Section 1 of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the "UK Code"), the company notes the votes cast against Resolutions 5, 12 and 15 were greater than 20% of those exercised in total by the Company's shareholders.  The Board has been engaging with shareholders and proxy agencies in the lead up to the Meeting and has a good understanding of the concerns of some of our major shareholders.   It is, however, the intention to extend the consultation process and report to shareholders in line with the requirements of the UK Code.

 

Similarly, the JSE Listings Requirements require that, as the non-binding advisory vote on the Remuneration policy of the Company, was voted against by 25% or more of the votes exercised by the Company's shareholders, the Company extends an invitation to shareholders to engage with the Company. Should shareholders wish to contact the Company with any concerns, they are requested to send their concerns in writing to the Company Secretary at abennett@siriusfacilities.com, by not later than close of business on Monday, 12 August 2019. Sirius will address those concerns in its consultation process identified above.

 

The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Investor Relations section of the Company website, under 'Reports and documents', and is available for inspection here https://www.sirius-real-estate.com/investors/results-presentations-notices/.
