The full text of each resolution is available in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, published on the Company's website.

The Board notes the votes against received in relation to various resolutions and is committed to determining the sentiment of all of its major shareholders. The Board will undertake a full consultation to fully understand their views and has already engaged with some investors. Should any outcomes of this consultation require public announcement, the Board will do so as necessary.

In advance of which however, and recognising certain shareholder voting at today's AGM, the Board has agreed to accelerate the process to select and appoint a new director with the experience and skills to act as Chair. Paul Forster will stand down as Chair and Director once the appointment is made.
