Notes:
1. Based on total issued share capital of 456,749,631 ordinary shares
2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted
towards votes cast "For" or "Against" a resolution
3. The total voting rights of the Company on the day on which
shareholders had to be on the register in order to be eligible to
vote was 456,749,631
Resolutions 4 to 8 and 10 to 13
The Board notes that while resolutions 4 to 8 and 10 to 13 were
passed with the necessary majority, they received less than 58% in
favour. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code the
Board will continue to engage with shareholders to discuss their
concerns but understands that this was predominantly as a result of
the Company's largest shareholder (and its related parties) voting
against these resolutions.
Board changes
As previously announced Charles Gurassa and Moya Greene DBE did
not put themselves forward for re-election at the AGM and therefore
stood down from the Board at the conclusion of the AGM.
As per the Company's announcement of 21 December 2020,
Anastassia Lauterbach decided to resign as a director of the
Company. Accordingly, resolution 9 was withdrawn.
National Storage Mechanism
In accordance with LR 9.6.2 copies of the resolutions passed as
special business have been submitted to the FCA's National Storage
Mechanism. A copy of the new Articles of Association have also been
uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism as the document that
sets out the terms and conditions on which its listed equity shares
were issued in accordance with LR 9.2.6ER(1). Both documents will
shortly be available to view at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
