Note: A 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution.
The Directors note that while a significant majority of shareholders that voted at the Annual General Meeting supported Resolutions 5, 6, 8 and 9, we are disappointed that a notable number of shareholders opposed these Resolutions. The Directors intend to engage with shareholders to obtain feedback on their concerns and will publish an update on that engagement within six months of the date of the Annual General Meeting.
The Company is also disappointed to note that Resolutions 11 and 12, to re-elect Mhairi Archibald and Tony Powell as Directors of the Company, were not approved by a majority of the Company's independent shareholders. The Company is entitled, in accordance with the FCA's Listing Rules, to convene a general meeting (to be held within 90 and 120 days of today's date) at which resolutions may be put to the meeting to re-appoint Mhairi Archibald and Tony Powell as Directors of the Company.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
As as the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company's issued share capital was 3,899,014 ordinary shares carrying one vote each.
