Resolution 2

Following recent engagement on our Remuneration Report with approximately 25 of our larger shareholders, we would like to thank those that took the time to discuss their views with us. We were reassured that the vast majority with whom we consulted agreed that our policy and our plans for its implementation in 2020/21 were appropriate, though we acknowledge a significant minority of shareholders did not agree.

Following the AGM, the Remuneration Committee will continue to engage with shareholders to fully understand their concerns and will consider the full range of feedback. We will publish an update on our engagement, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, within six months of the 2020 AGM.

Notes:

1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the chairman of the meeting have been included in the 'For' total.

2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" a resolution, nor in the calculation of "total votes cast" for any resolution.

3. The issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM was 280,076,324 ordinary shares.

4. The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting which is available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm and on the Company's website.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions passed as special business of the meeting will be uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm .
