The total number of shares held by independent shareholders,
excluding the controlling shareholder, in issue at the voting date
is 64,121,805.
The votes shown in the first table above for each independent
director include those of the controlling shareholder. In the
second table above, the controlling shareholder is not
included.
Since the completion of the combination with the Software
business of Schneider Electric, the Company has created
approximately GBP3 billion in shareholder value and has now entered
the FTSE100.
This has been achieved by steering substantial change and rapid
development in the business over this period with the recruitment
of a new CEO, the retention of key executives, the creation of a
new, shared culture and the reshaping of the leadership team. This
did necessitate the use of a retention bonus for our CFO and a
buyout equity award to recruit our new CEO which some shareholders
did not feel they could support and the Board and the Remuneration
Committee notes that there was a level of opposition votes from
shareholders on Resolution 2 of more than 20 percent.
As in 2018, the Board has engaged extensively with shareholders
ahead of the Annual General Meeting on these legacy remuneration
issues and increased disclosure and transparency of incentive
scheme targets, obtaining some very helpful and constructive input.
The Company recognises the push for more transparency regarding
incentive scheme targets and will review this for future
Remuneration reports, while balancing increased disclosure with the
need to protect any commercially sensitive areas of strategic
focus.
