A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against" any resolution.
The Board notes that there was a significant minority who voted against Resolution 4. The Board will consider the votes against and in accordance with the QCA Corporate Governance Code, to which the Company adheres, any action proposed by the Board in respect of such considerations will be included in the Corporate Governance section of the Company's website.
The Company also reminds shareholders that, as announced on 22 May 2025, Andrew Dennan did not stand for re-election at this AGM and has therefore stepped down from the Board.
Jean-Michel Doublet, Interim Chair, Commented:
"We would like to thank Andy for his significant contributions to the Company over the last five years and we look forward to continue working with him over the coming months, in particular with regards to his support as the Company continues to pursue its claims against the Republic of Slovenia under the Energy Charter Treaty."
