The Board notes the significant vote against the election of
Nigel Mills as a Non-Executive Director and is aware that it is as
a result of a proxy advisory service recommending that Shareholders
vote against his election, as they do not regard him as being
independent. The Board strongly believes that Mr Mills is
independent and his appointment is in line with the provisions of
the UK Corporate Governance Code. He has not worked on the
Company's business in the last three years and has no other
business relationships which would compromise his independence.
Nevertheless given the significant minority who have voted against
the resolution the Chairman intends to meet shareholders to discuss
this issue with them.
Copies of the resolutions dealing with special business passed
at the Annual General Meeting have been sent to the National
Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection.
G N Francis
Group Company Secretary
