* indicates a special resolution
The Board notes that Resolution 6, the re-election of Harry Hyman, was supported by 79.28% of shareholders. We understand that those shareholders that did not support this Resolution did so because of his prior role as Chief Executive Officer. The Board is pleased that the Resolution was approved and that the vast majority of our largest shareholders voted in favour of it. Mindful that the strong level of support falls factionally short of the relevant approval threshold for the purposes of provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the Code), the Board will build on its previous engagements with major shareholders to seek to fully understand the reasons behind these votes against and will provide an update in accordance with the Code within six months of the Annual General Meeting.
The total issued share capital of PHP is 1,336,493,786 Ordinary Shares. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
A copy of the resolutions passed as special business at today's AGM will, in accordance with Listing Rule 6.4.2., be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
