* Special Resolutions requiring 75% majority to pass

Impax is committed to enhancing its corporate governance practices, and notes that while the non-binding resolution to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report was passed, the Directors are mindful of the votes against and withheld. Building on feedback from shareholders we have increased our disclosures around variable remuneration in this year's report. We intend to develop this disclosure by publishing further details on the Executive Directors' objectives as our approach to variable remuneration continues to evolve.
