Notes:
1. Resolution 5 was withdrawn as John Coleman decided not to seek re-election as a Director at the AGM.
2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in calculating votes for or against a resolution.
3. The total number of ordinary shares in issue as at 18 October 2019 was 182,840,301 (182,798,260 with voting rights).
The Board notes that although resolution 13 was passed with the requisite majority, 26.06% of votes received were against the resolution. The Board has been engaging with shareholders and has a good understanding of the concerns raised. A further consultation process will be undertaken and report to shareholders provided in line with the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code.
In accordance with Listing Rules 9.6.3 R and 9.6.18 R, copies of the resolutions passed at the AGM have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM:
