Foxtons Group plc
("Foxtons" or the "Company")
Statement on 2020 Annual General Meeting Directors' Remuneration
Policy Vote
At the Foxtons Group plc (the 'Company') Annual General Meeting
(the 'AGM') held on 13 May 2020, Resolution 2, to approve the
Directors' Remuneration Policy (the 'Policy'), was approved by a
substantial majority of c.78% of shareholders. Furthermore,
following the AGM it came to our attention that one of the
Company's largest shareholders had been unable to cast all their
votes in favour of Resolution 2 due to operational difficulties
resulting from Covid-19. Had this shareholder been able to vote as
intended, Resolution 2 would have obtained votes in favour of well
over 80%.
In preparing the 2020 Directors' Remuneration Policy, the
Remuneration Committee carried out an extensive shareholder
consultation exercise with its largest shareholders and their
representative bodies, the results of which fully are explained in
the 2019 Annual Report. Following the consultation exercise some
changes were made to the final Policy to reflect shareholder
feedback and the Board has a clear understanding of the reasons why
some shareholders were not supportive of the Policy. The Board
believes the Policy approved at the 2020 AGM is the best structure
to provide strong alignment with shareholders' interests in a
highly cyclical business such as Foxtons. We therefore still
consider this Policy to be in the best interests of the Company and
the shareholders, and do not intend to propose further changes to
the Policy at the 2021 AGM.
