The Board notes that although resolution 2 (Directors Remuneration report) passed with the requisite majority, it received more than 20% of votes against the Board's recommendation. The Board takes the views expressed by shareholders seriously and has already proactively engaged with shareholders to understand their views, in accordance with the QCA Corporate Governance Code.
