The Board notes that although resolution 13, to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report, was passed, 45.47% of votes cast were against.  During 2020, the Remuneration Committee wrote to the Company's largest shareholders in relation to proposed changes to its Remuneration Policy and a review, supported by benchmarking, of the base salaries of the Company's Executive Directors. The Company also engaged directly with a number of shareholders prior to the AGM. The Company notes that its revised Remuneration Policy has been approved with overwhelming support (resolution 12 above). The Company will consult further with shareholders to better understand their views and provide an update within six months as required by the Corporate Governance Code 2018.

The total number of votes cast was 48,347,544 which represents 52% of the Company's shareholders.  The Board is always open to constructive dialogue with shareholders and is grateful to all those who took the time to consider and vote on the resolutions proposed.
