Comment on Voting

The Board is pleased that all resolutions were successfully approved by shareholders, with the majority of those shareholders voting in favour of all resolutions.

The Board, however, recognises the material number of votes against resolution 3, the re-election of the Company's chairman Robert Orr. The Company is seeking to engage with those of its key shareholders who voted against resolution 3. To the extent concerns are raised in relation to the diversity of the Board (in particular, the requirement for the Company to meet the target for gender diversity set out in the Hampton-Alexander review, following its inclusion in the FTSE 250 index in October 2021), the Board is committed to meeting this target, as outlined in the latest Annual Report.

In recognition of the increased size of the Company, as well as actively seeking to improve the diversity of the Board, we were pleased to announce, earlier today, the appointment of Sarah Whitney as a new Non-executive Director of the Company. Following Sarah's appointment, we can confirm that we will be fully compliant with the Hampton-Alexander board gender diversity target, with 40% female representation. Full details in respect of Sarah's appointment are provided in the relevant announcement.

The Board engaged with a number of investors on the topic of diversity ahead of the AGM and we will continue to do so, in particular and as noted above, with those shareholders who voted against resolution 3. The feedback and any actions required will be published at a later date. The Board welcomes feedback and engagement from shareholders on a regular basis to discuss any concerns they may have.
