More than 20% of the votes on Resolution 3 at today's General Meeting were not cast in
favour. Resolution 3 related to the approval of proposed share schemes for Wickes Group plc
("Wickes") under which transitional awards ("Transitional Awards") are to be made to the
Executive Directors of Wickes. The Board of Wickes understands that concerns over the
Resolution were in large part related to the Transitional Awards and may have been influenced
by the 'against' recommendation initially published by ISS which was subsequently revised to
a 'qualified for' recommendation following consultation with Wickes.
The Wickes Board is mindful of all of the requirements of Provision 4 of the UK Corporate
Governance Code 2018 and is committed to open and constructive dialogue with
shareholders. Wickes intends to consult with shareholders in the coming months, well in
advance of putting its Directors' Remuneration Policy to a binding vote in 2022 at its first
AGM following demerger from the Travis Perkins Group.
Details of the questions asked during the meeting will be available on the Company's website
