The Board would like to thank shareholders for their engagement and support ahead of the AGM and throughout the year. While most of the resolutions were passed with significant majorities, the Board notes that resolutions 3 (re-election of Roger Lovering) and 7 (re-election of Nayan Kisnadwala) were passed with the necessary majority but with less than 80% of support.

In relation to resolution 3, Roger Lovering has already indicated that he intends to step down from the Board once Jonathan Roe has received regulatory approval to take up the role of Chair of the Board and after an appropriate hand-over period. An update will be provided in due course once the FCA approval process has concluded.  

In relation to resolution 7, Nayan Kisnadwala, our CFO, has a detailed understanding of the Company and offered steady leadership to the Company despite turbulence at the board Level, especially in solving legacy issues in a tough external environment. However, we will consult and engage with the Company's largest shareholders and institutional investors to understand and discuss their priorities.

Notes: 

1.  Votes "for" include proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the GM. A "vote withheld" is not a vote under English law and is therefore the percentage of voting shares is the percentage of shares voted and excludes shares on which votes were withheld.

2.  As at 16.30 p.m. on 25 September 2020, being the time at which a person had to be registered in the Company's register of members in order to vote at the GM, the number of ordinary shares of the Company in issue was 475,333,760.
