The Board is pleased to note that all resolutions were passed with the requisite majority of votes and welcomes the overwhelming support of the Company's shareholders for the majority of the resolutions proposed, including the resolutions relating to the re-election of the Directors. However, the Board recognises that support for the re-election of June Jessop, Chair of the Nomination Committee, fell below 80%.
The Board values an open and transparent dialogue with our shareholders and will engage with those shareholders who voted against this resolution to understand their specific concerns.
In accordance with the Corporate Governance Code published by The Association of Investment Companies, the Company will publish an update on this engagement within six months of the AGM, with a final summary to be included in the Company's next Annual Report.
