As Lithia UK Holdings Limited ("Lithia") is a controlling shareholder of the Company (that is, it exercises or controls more than 30 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company), the UK Listing Rules require that the re-election or re-appointment of each independent director be approved by a majority of the votes cast by both: (i) all shareholders of the Company; and (ii) the independent shareholders of the Company, being the shareholders other than Lithia.
Resolutions 3, 6, 7, 9 and 10 were accordingly proposed as ordinary resolutions on which all shareholders were entitled to vote, with the votes cast by the independent shareholders on those resolutions also counted separately to determine whether this second threshold was met. In accordance with this dual threshold requirement, the results of the votes cast by the independent shareholders on those resolutions are set out below.
