All resolutions presented to shareholders at today's Annual General Meeting 
were passed with a majority of votes.  However, the Board recognises that some 
shareholders opposed resolution 11 (the approval of the directors' annual 
report on remuneration).  While the Board is pleased that resolution 11 has 
received shareholder approval, it also acknowledges the views of the 
shareholders who opposed the resolution.  The principal concern being in 
respect of the CEO's 2020 salary increase.  We contacted our major shareholders 
before the Annual General Meeting to offer to discuss their views on this 
matter.  We will continue to engage with our shareholders to ensure views are 
fully understood and report back within six months. 
 
A copy of the Resolutions passed as Special Business at the Annual General 
Meeting is being submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will shortly be 
available for inspection at the FCA Electronic Submission System, which is 
situated at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
