Notes
1. Please note a 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law
and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against'
a resolution.
2. As at 6.30pm on 26 April 2021, the issued share capital of
the Company consisted of 506,058,579 ordinary shares and 51,124,377
limited-voting ordinary shares. The Company does not hold any
ordinary shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights as
at that time were 511,171,017.
3. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.
Limited-voting ordinary shareholders are entitled one-tenth of a
vote per share.
4. The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.
5. Results of the poll will also be available shortly on the Company's website: http://www.lseg.com/investor-relations/shareholder-services/agm-information
Resolution 3 - Directors' remuneration report
The Board of LSEG notes that, while all of the other resolutions
at today's Annual General Meeting were passed with a strong
majority, Resolution 3 (Approval of the Annual Report on
Remuneration) passed with 76.48% of votes in favour.
The increase to the CEO's base salary reflects the increased
responsibilities and scope of the role following the acquisition of
Refinitiv, which has transformed the business into a significantly
larger, more complex and truly global company. LSEG undertook
extensive engagement with shareholders on our Remuneration Report
and taking into account their feedback, the LSEG Remuneration
Committee also determined to significantly increase the minimum
shareholding requirement for the CEO from 300% to 400%. Although
shareholders were broadly supportive of the underlying principle of
the CEO's increase in base salary post completion of the Refinitiv
transaction we recognise that certain shareholders would have
preferred the increase to have been phased.
Following the Annual General Meeting, LSEG will continue to
engage with its shareholders and will carefully consider all
further feedback. We will publish an update on that engagement
within six months of the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with
the UK Corporate Governance Code.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions
that do not constitute ordinary business, will be shortly be
available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism document
viewing facility at :
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
In addition, and in accordance with Listing Rule 9.2.6E, a copy
of the Articles of Association of the Company will also be
available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism.
