At the date of the meeting, the Company had 466,121,112 shares in issue which confer voting rights. This includes 539,202 shares pending settlement as part of the £45m share buyback programme, announced on 9 March 2021. The highest number of votes cast on any resolution (excluding votes withheld) was 369,747,850, which represents approximately 79% of total voting rights held by shareholders.

 

The resolution to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report was passed, but with a significant minority of shareholders voting against the resolution. Prior to the AGM, the Board engaged with the Company's major shareholders to address any questions arising from remuneration decisions taken during the year.  Based on this, we understand that the principal points of concern were the annual fee of the Chairman and the level of base salary of the Chief Executive Officer.  The Remuneration Committee will continue to engage with shareholders to ensure that it understands their views on these issues and is able to consider shareholders' feedback. 

 

In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board will publish an update on this engagement within six months of the AGM.

 

In accordance with Listing Rules 9.6.2 R, 9.6.3(1) R and 9.6.18 R, copies of the resolutions (other than those resolutions which form the ordinary business of the AGM) passed by the Company have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and are available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
