Statement regarding voting result
The Board is pleased that all of the resolutions which were put
to shareholders at the AGM were passed.
However, the Board notes that a significant number of
shareholders voted against resolutions 3, 14 and 16, with the
result that such resolutions fell below the 80% threshold. In
accordance with provision 4 of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance
Code, the Board confirms that it will consult and engage with
shareholders to understand and discuss their concerns with respect
to such resolutions and why they voted against such resolutions. We
will provide an update within six months of the AGM, in accordance
with the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code.
Full details of the resolutions passed, together with
explanatory notes, are set out in the Notice of Annual General
Meeting dated 10 May 2019, which is available at
