The Board notes the result of Resolution 4 (the re-appointment
of Nick Donaldson). From our previous communications with investors
and proxy voting agencies, we understand that the concerns are
largely in relation to Mr Donaldson being overboarded in terms of
the calls on his time. The Board is confident that Mr Donaldson
discharges effectively his role as Chairman, notwithstanding his
other board commitments. As referenced in our recent Annual Report,
Mr Donaldson will be standing down from the role of Chairman of
Games Workshop with effect from 1 January 2021, and from the Board
of Games Workshop no later than the 2021 AGM.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions
passed as special business of the meeting will be uploaded to the
National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM .
