In accordance with Listing Rule 9.2.2E, resolutions 10 to 14
inclusive were approved by: (a) the shareholders of the Company;
and (b) the independent shareholders of the Company.
The total voting rights of the Company on the day on which
shareholders had to be on the register in order to be eligible to
vote was 72,788,543.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, a copy of resolution 16,
which was passed as a special resolution, has been submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
inspection at:
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
The Board is pleased that the majority of resolutions were
passed with a high level of support from shareholders. The Board
has considered the votes against resolutions 5, the re-election of
Sir David McMurtry (31.26%) and 6, the re-election of John Deer
(28.48%) (together, the "Founders").
To better understand the reasoning behind the votes against,
meetings have been held with those shareholders wishing to discuss
aspects of corporate governance in the run up to the AGM. The main
matters of concern continue to be the absence of a relationship
agreement between the Founders and the Company, succession planning
and Board diversity.
In respect of succession planning and the composition of the
Board, the Nomination Committee continues to monitor, and is
supportive of, the current structure of the Board believing that it
provides the Company with access to significant strategic vision,
commercial experience, and operational and international expertise.
The Board keeps its skills and experience under review and a
succession planning exercise for both Board and key operational
roles has recently taken place to encourage a diverse pipeline of
talent for senior managerial roles. Further, and as previously
announced, the Board has appointed Professor Karen Holford,
Independent Non-executive Director, taking the number of
independent Non-executive Directors to five, and increasing the
gender diversity of the Board.
As indicated in the previous six months update statement
released on 16 May 2023, the Board will continue to consult with
its shareholders on these matters. An update statement will be
released within six months.
