Withdrawal of resolution 5 - To re-elect Gregory Paul Fitzgerald as a director of the Company
As disclosed in the announcement dated 13 April 2026, Resolution 5 was withdrawn from the agenda for the 2026 AGM.
Board response to Resolutions 2 and 3 - To approve the Directors' Remuneration Report and Remuneration Policy
While pleased that all resolutions at the AGM were approved by shareholders, the Board acknowledges that the votes on Resolutions 2 and 3 received less than 80% support. Building on previous practice, in the coming months, the Board will engage with shareholders to ensure it has a clear understanding of their concerns. In line with the UK Corporate Governance Code, we will publish an update on our shareholder engagement within six months of the 2026 AGM.
