The Board is delighted that all the resolutions were supported at today's Annual General Meeting. In particular the Board thanks the majority of shareholders who voted in support of the Remuneration Policy (Resolution 13).

The Board notes that, although approved with the requisite majority, Resolution 13 (Approval of Remuneration Policy) received less than the 80% level identified in the UK Corporate Governance Code ("the Code"). As such, in accordance with the Code the Board will engage with any major shareholders who did not support the Resolution to understand the reasons behind their voting decision. An update on these discussions will be provided within six months of today's AGM.

In accordance with the requirements of UKLR 6.4.3 and 6.4.13 copies of Resolutions 22-25 will shortly be available for inspection on the National Storage Mechanism which is located at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
