The full resolution can be found in the AGM notice
Notes:
1. As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 460,483,231
ordinary shares in issue. The Company did not hold any shares in
treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the
date of the AGM was 460,483,231.
2. The scrutineer of the voting was Link Asset Services, the Company's Share Registrar.
3. Note that a 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and such
votes have not been included in the calculation of votes 'for' and
'against' each resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion
to the Chairman have been included in the 'for' total above.
Confirmation of Board changes
Following the announcements made on 27 January 2023 and 7
February 2023 , Gill Barr and Richard Moross have stepped down as
