Statement regarding AGM Resolution 3: To approve the
Remuneration Policy
The Board thanks shareholders for their support for the
Directors' Remuneration Policy (Resolution 3), and notes that
approximately 24% of votes cast opposed the resolution.
There was extensive engagement with shareholders in early 2021
regarding the proposed Directors' Remuneration Policy. Amendments
were made to the proposals to reflect feedback and the Board
understood that while the majority of shareholders consulted were
supportive, a minority had concerns about the proposed increase to
annual bonus.
The Board will review and consider shareholder feedback received
as it implements the new policy.
