General Meeting Update
2021-2023 Equity Revitalisation Plan approved by
shareholders
Informa (LSE: INF.L), the Information Services, Advanced
Learning, B2B Exhibitions and Events Group today held its General
Meeting at 5 Howick Place, London, SW1P 1WG. All resolutions put to
the General Meeting were voted on by way of a poll and were
approved by Shareholders.
The Board notes and records that shareholders voted in favour of
both the new Remuneration Policy and the Equity Revitalisation Plan
("ERP") rules put to today's General Meeting.
In finalising the proposals put to the General Meeting, the
Board consulted widely with shareholders and was pleased that there
was significant support for the overall rationale and principles of
an ERP restricted share plan, with its focus on long term equity
ownership and equity value. However, throughout the consultation
there were a range of different technical, policy and principled
reasons, that meant some shareholders would not be able to support
the final shape of the plan. This range of different preferences is
reflected in the votes cast against the resolutions at today's
General Meeting.
As a restricted share plan, the ERP takes a deliberately
different approach to leadership remuneration, which the Board
firmly believes is the right approach for the Company in the
current circumstances. It aligns all Colleagues at Informa closely
with shareholders, whilst providing a strong mechanism to retain
and motivate the broader Senior Management Team in the wake of the
significant uncertainty created by COVID-19.
The Board acknowledges the wide range of different views amongst
some of its shareholders and remains committed to continue to
engage with all shareholders to provide ongoing clarity and
reassurance that the new approach, adopted through the ERP, is the
right approach.
The full results of the poll are set out below:
