Results of Annual General Meeting

At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 25 September 2019, Resolutions 1 to 6 proposed in the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 30 August 2019 were duly passed as ordinary resolutions by shareholders by means of a poll vote. 

The Board notes that Resolutions 7 (Disapplication of pre-emption rights), 8 (Authority to purchase own shares) and 9 (Shorter notice for general meetings) did not receive the requisite majorities to be passed as special resolutions.  The Board also notes that, although Resolutions 1 to 6 were passed by shareholders, there was a lower level of support for those resolutions.

The Board is naturally disappointed with the level of support for all resolutions which, following discussions with its principal shareholders, it understands is largely attributable to the business and share price performance over the past year.  During the coming weeks, the Board will continue to engage  with shareholders. An update on such engagement will be published in accordance with the recommendations of the UK Corporate Governance Code.

The results of the poll on each resolution are set out below.
