Result of AGM
The Board is pleased to announce that all resolutions (except
resolution 4) proposed in the Notice of Meeting were put to the
Annual General Meeting held earlier today and passed on a poll. As
announced on 27 March 2020, the Board decided that it was prudent
to withdraw the recommendation to pay the final dividend of 11.95
pence per share and accordingly this resolution was not put to the
meeting. The poll results are shown below.
The total number of votes received for each resolution is set
out in the voting schedule below. Each shareholder present in
person or by proxy was entitled to one vote per share held. Votes
withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted
in the calculation of the percentage of votes for or against a
resolution. The percentages shown below are rounded to 2 decimal
places.
Resolutions 17, 18, 20 and 21 were passed as special
resolutions; all other resolutions were passed as ordinary
resolutions.
Whilst all resolutions were passed with the requisite majority
of votes, we acknowledge that a number of our shareholders did not
support Resolution 16 (Authority to allot shares). It remains
standard market practice for many UK FTSE listed companies to
retain this type of authority. The authority sought by the Company
is in accordance with the UK Investment Association's share capital
management guidelines and prevailing voting guidelines of leading
corporate governance agencies applicable to UK listed companies.
However, we will continue our ongoing engagement with shareholders
to better understand the position of those for which this authority
presents concerns and will keep best practice in this area under
review.
The total voting rights of the Company on 21 April 2020, the day
on which shareholders had to be on the register in order to be
eligible to vote, was 780,705,192.
