The number of ordinary shares in issue on 17 May 2017 was
191,456,172. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not
counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes validly
cast.
All resolutions presented to shareholders at today's Annual
General Meeting were passed with a majority of votes. However, the
Board recognises that there was a minority of votes opposing
resolution 5.
While the Board is pleased that resolution 5 has received
shareholder approval, it also acknowledges the views of the
shareholders who voted against the re-election of Eva Lindqvist. We
have consulted with a number of shareholders and proxy advisors
before the Annual General Meeting to discuss the issues raised. As
a result, Eva Lindqvist has confirmed her intention to reduce her
number of directorships with listed companies.
The Board would like to reassure shareholders that it takes
seriously its responsibilities to engage with them and take their
views into account.
A copy of the Resolutions passed as Special Business at the
Annual General Meeting is being submitted to the UK Listing
Authority and will shortly be available for inspection at the
National Storage Mechanism document viewing facility, which is
