Statement regarding voting result

The Board is pleased that all of the resolutions put to shareholders at the AGM were passed. However, the Board recognises that a significant minority opposed resolution 2 being the 2017 Annual Remuneration Report.

Given the unusual backdrop to the remuneration decisions that had to be taken this year (the departure of our previous CEO, the CFO acting as interim CEO, two unsolicited bids, the arrival of a new CEO and the launch of a challenging turnaround plan) the Remuneration Committee consulted extensively with shareholders prior to the AGM on its approach to executive remuneration for 2017/18. This process helped shape the remuneration decisions that were taken.

In reaching its decisions, the Committee's priorities were to ensure that the Directors' remuneration arrangements were fully aligned with the business and incentivised the successful delivery of the Company's challenging turnaround plan, whilst also ensuring that they were fair and reasonable both for the executives and shareholders, in what was an unusual year.

Going forward, the Committee is committed to continuing an open dialogue with all shareholders. It welcomes feedback at all times and would like to thank those shareholders and proxy bodies who participated in its consultation this year.
