NB: Percentage of Votes cast excludes Withheld votes and resolution 9 (relating to the re-election of Sean Hurst) was withdrawn from the meeting.

Board Succession
In light of two of the three Board directors having served for at least nine years a process is underway to refresh its configuration. In order to ensure an orderly Board succession plan, this process is anticipated to be completed within six months. The Board remains mindful of its fiduciary duties to all shareholders including its commitment to focus on minimising costs appropriately.
As a first stage of this orderly transition, Sean Hurst had notified the Company of his intention to step-down from his position prior to the AGM with immediate effect. The Board and Manager would like to thank Sean for his valuable contribution during his time as Chair and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
Tony Dalwood has been appointed Chair with immediate effect to oversee the succession plan. Trina Le Noury remains Chair of the Audit committee.
The appointment of additional Non-Executive Directors is progressed and, subject to completion of the relevant regulatory approvals, at least one new Director will join the Board shortly. A further update will be provided in due course.
