2021 Annual General Meeting - Voting Results Update Statement
At the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held on 22 July 2021, the total votes received in favour of remuneration-related resolutions were 92.88% (Resolution 3 - Directors' Remuneration Report) and 60.18% (Resolution 4 - Directors' Remuneration Policy).
Given more than 20 per cent of votes were cast against Resolution 4, Halma is providing an update on the views received from shareholders and actions taken as set out under the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code.
Apart from feedback on the need to provide additional clarity on the chosen benchmark in the 2022 Directors' Remuneration Report, no new concerns were raised during the engagement process.
In line with our normal practice the Board will continue to engage with shareholders and their representative bodies and will provide a final update in the 2022 Directors' Remuneration Report.
