Notes:
(a) The votes "for" include those votes giving the Chair
discretion.
(b) A "vote withheld" is not counted towards the votes cast
"for" or "against" a resolution.
(c) The total number of shares in issue on 23 November 2023 was
428,724,960.
(d) In accordance with LR 9.6.2, copies of the relevant ordinary
and special resolutions passed at the meeting have been submitted
to the FCA's National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be
available to view at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism . The full
text of the resolutions passed at the Annual General Meeting can be
found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, which is available
for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism and also on the
Company's website at www.pzcussons.com .
(e) The Board notes that Resolution 3 received a number of votes
against which, based on extensive engagement with shareholders, the
Board understands is primarily attributable to the adoption of a
Restricted Share Plan (RSP). The Remuneration Committee continues
to believe that the adoption of an RSP will more closely align the
interests of our Executive Directors with shareholders. The Board
recognises the time and feedback already provided by investors on
this matter and will continue to engage constructively with
shareholders. In accordance with the 2018 Corporate Governance
Code, the Board will provide an update within six months of the
Annual General Meeting.
