As previously announced Caroline Foulger, the Company's Chair prior to this meeting, did not stand for re-election in line with UK corporate governance guidelines having completed a nine-year tenure as director of the Company. The succession process is well progressed including the recruitment of new non-executive directors. Shareholders will be updated in due course and until then the Board has agreed that Steve Pearce will serve as interim Chair.

The Board would like to thank Caroline for the considerable contribution she has made over the last nine years and wishes her every success for the future.

Shareholder Engagement

The Board notes that although the resolution to re-elect Peter Dubens was passed with a substantial majority, there were a material number of votes cast against. While the composition of our Board complies with the independence requirements of the UK Listing Rules and the AIC Code, we understand that some shareholders have a policy of voting against the re-election of any directors who are not independent or who they do not believe to be independent. The Board has engaged with these shareholders in the past to discuss their position and concerns and will continue to do so in the future.
