Substantial votes against AGM Resolutions

The Board notes that more than 20 per cent. of votes were cast against Resolution 18 (Political Donations). As stated in the notice of AGM, it is not the Company's intention to make donations to political parties, or to make other political donations within the normal meaning of that expression, and the Directors have no intention of changing that policy. The purpose of Resolution 18 is to avoid the inadvertent infringement of provisions within the Companies Act 2006. The Board is committed to continuing an open and transparent dialogue with the Company's shareholders to better understand the reasons behind their voting and the result. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Company will publish an update within six months and report the outcome of that engagement in the next annual report.
