As disclosed in its 2023 Annual Report, the Company is in the process of implementing a series of changes related to remuneration over the course of 2024.
The Board of Directors intends to engage with the shareholders who were opposed to the resolutions and will provide an update on the consultations within six months as required by the UK Corporate Governance Code.
