Resolution 2
Following recent engagement on our Remuneration Report with
approximately 25 of our larger shareholders, we would like to thank
those that took the time to discuss their views with us. We were
reassured that the vast majority with whom we consulted agreed that
our policy and our plans for its implementation in 2020/21 were
appropriate, though we acknowledge a significant minority of
shareholders did not agree.
Following the AGM, the Remuneration Committee will continue to
engage with shareholders to fully understand their concerns and
will consider the full range of feedback. We will publish an update
on our engagement, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance
Code, within six months of the 2020 AGM.
Notes:
1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the chairman
of the meeting have been included in the 'For' total.
2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in
the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" a
resolution, nor in the calculation of "total votes cast" for any
resolution.
3. The issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the
AGM was 280,076,324 ordinary shares.
4. The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice
of Annual General Meeting which is available for inspection at the
National Storage Mechanism www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm and on the
Company's website.
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 .
