Noting the outcome of the vote on the Remuneration Report (Resolution 2) this year, the Remuneration Committee has engaged with major shareholders and has taken into account their feedback.  We value and respect the views of our shareholders and, as a result, the Board, in consultation with the incoming CEO, has determined that his 2015 Bonus will now be subject to the usual performance criteria and a compensatory award in this regard will no longer be made.

Notes:

1.   The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.

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.

3.   The number of ordinary shares in issue at 6.00 p.m. on 13 May 2015 was 161,361,777, of which the Total Voting Rights figure was 161,361,777.

4.   In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 9.6.2, Intertek Group plc has submitted to the National Storage Mechanism a copy of the resolutions (other than those relating to ordinary business) passed at the Annual General Meeting of Intertek Group plc held on Friday 15 May 2015.
