Resolution 2 (Remuneration Report)
Ferguson has engaged with its shareholders throughout the year
on its remuneration policies and is disappointed that a significant
minority of shareholders voted against the remuneration report.
In light of the AGM vote the Company will consult with
shareholders in the months ahead to listen carefully to their views
and any concerns ahead of making remuneration decisions for the
financial year ending July 31, 2021.
