2023 Annual General Meeting Voting Outcome Update
As announced on 12 July 2023, Burberry Group plc received more
than 20% votes against Resolution 13, the re-election of Antoine de
Saint-Affrique as a Director of the Company at the 2023 Annual
General Meeting.
The Board has sought to engage with significant shareholders who
voted against Antoine's re-election and is grateful to those that
took the time to explain their views. As in the prior year, some
shareholders have expressed concerns about the number of Mr de
Saint-Affrique's other listed directorships and the potential
impact on his time commitment to Burberry.
The Board continues to believe that Mr de Saint-Affrique has the
capacity to devote sufficient time to effectively discharge his
duties. He is a committed and engaged Director whose skills and
experience enable him to bring a particularly valuable perspective
to Board matters and has consistently demonstrated his ability to
fulfil his obligations as a Director including during exceptionally
demanding periods.
A detailed explanation of the reasons why the Board believes it
is in the best interests of shareholders to support Mr de
Saint-Affrique's re-election is in the Annual Report and Accounts
2022/23 and in the 2023 Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The Board will continue to monitor this position closely and
will continue to engage with shareholders on this matter. A further
update will be provided in the Annual Report and Accounts
2023/24.
