Whilst the Board is pleased that resolution 17 (to authorise the
Company to purchase its own shares), received the requisite level
of votes to pass as a special resolution, requiring the support of
75% of those voting, it notes the significant proportion of votes
against. Engagement has taken place with a major shareholder to
understand the reasons behind their voting and we will continue to
engage with them in relation to this matter.
As at the date of the AGM, the number of issued shares and total
voting rights of the Company was 154,125,118 shares in issue. The
Company's Articles of Association set out that every member who is
present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every share
of which he is the holder on a poll. The scrutineer of the poll was
Equiniti Limited.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, the Company has submitted
a copy of the resolutions dealing with the special business put to
shareholders at the AGM today to the National Storage Mechanism,
which will shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
