Shareholder Engagement
The Board notes that, while the resolution to re-elect Peter Dubens was passed with a majority, a material proportion of votes were cast against it. While the Board composition complies with the independence requirements of the UK Listing Rules and the AIC Code, the Board understands from its shareholder engagement that certain investors have policies of voting against the re-election of directors whom they consider not to be independent.
The Board respects these views and has engaged, and will continue to engage, with shareholders who voted against the resolution this year to better understand their perspectives. Notwithstanding this feedback, the Board remains firmly of the view that Mr Dubens, as Founder Director, brings invaluable experience, continuity and insight to the Company, which is in the best interests of all shareholders.
