(1) Where shareholders appointed the Chair as their proxy with
discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the
resolutions.
(2) A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted
towards the votes cast 'For' or 'Against' a resolution.
(3) Special Resolution (75% majority required).
The total voting rights of the Company as at 10.00pm on 1 June
2021 (the time by which shareholders wanting to vote at the AGM
were required to be entered on the register) was 1,503,112,804
ordinary shares of 0.1p each. The Company does not hold any shares
in treasury. Votes were cast in respect of 82.25% of the issued
share capital.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of the resolutions
passed at the AGM, other than resolutions constituting ordinary
business, will shortly be available for inspection via the
Financial Conduct Authority's Electronic Submission System at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
A copy of the poll results for the AGM will also shortly be
available on the Informa website (www.informa.com/investors).
Remuneration Approach
As the AGM results indicate, a range of shareholders, for a
range of specific, principled and technical reasons, have been
unable to fully support the Company's chosen approach to
remuneration, which we adopted through the COVID-19 pandemic. A
majority of shareholders did support the introduction of the
2021-2023 Equity Revitalisation Plan in December, which is now
effective and inflight, and a majority also supported the
reappointment of the Remuneration Committee at this AGM, albeit at
a variety of levels around and below the 80% threshold.
Consequently, the Company will initiate a new consultation with
shareholders on its next approach to remuneration, including on a
new Remuneration Policy to follow the 2021-2023 Equity
Revitalisation Plan. This consultation will take place between now
and the AGM in 2022, ensuring as many shareholders as possible are
able to provide feedback and input on a future approach to
remuneration that aligns as closely as possible with the balance of
shareholder views.
