The Board notes that even though the resolution was passed, certain shareholders voted against Resolution 2, being the adoption of the Company's Remuneration Report. The Board is aware that, in some cases, such voting was influenced by a report produced by a proxy shareholder services company, which recommended to institutional shareholders that they vote against this resolution. The Board intends to engage both with the relevant institutional shareholders and the proxy shareholder services company itself to better understand their respective positions, as well as to explain to each why the Board believes that the findings in the report are not based upon all of the information which is relevant and are, therefore, inappropriate in this instance.
