A copy of the above results will shortly be available on the investor section of Metro Bank PLC 's website.

Further to today's AGM, in relation to Resolutions 2, 7, 8 and 11, whilst the majority supported we are disappointed that some of our shareholders opposed these resolutions. Shareholder feedback is important to us and we will continue to engage constructively with them over the coming months to fully understand the rationale for the opposition to these resolutions. An update on this consultation process will be made within six months of the AGM, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code. We will acknowledge the feedback raised on our approach to remuneration going forward and will seek shareholder approval for a new Directors' Remuneration Policy at our AGM in 2020 in line with the normal cycle for renewal.
