*Includes discretionary votes

**A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted towards the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" the resolution

*** Votes cast by independent shareholders

The Board is pleased with the support from shareholders for all of the resolutions proposed.

As previously announced, effective as of today, Nigel Jones has retired from the Board.

Eli Papouchado, Chairman of PPHE said:

"On behalf of the Board, I wish to express my gratitude to Nigel Jones for his dedication and service to the Group, he has been an integral and valued Board member in helping the Group grow and succeed. On behalf of the Board we thank him for his commitment and service to the Group. We would also like to take this opportunity to announce that Nigel Keen, who joined as a non-executive director on 20 February 2020, will succeed Nigel Jones as Senior Independent Director, effective as of today."

The Board notes the recent inquiries regarding the Company's diversity. As detailed in our 2019 Annual Report, our collective leadership team, which consists of the direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer and their direct reports, had a gender diversity ratio of 50% female to male, juxtaposed to a 14% gender diversity ratio on the Board. We are mindful of our gender diversity at the Board level compared with the Leadership level. To that end we review our Diversity Policy regularly. We will review this Policy again in 2020 giving due consideration to the Hampton-Alexander Board Diversity targets.

In accordance with the Listing Rules a copy of each of the resolutions passed at the Annual General Meeting has been forwarded to the UK Listing Authority and will shortly be available for inspection at the following location: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
