calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.
During 2020/21, the Remuneration Committee consulted extensively
with Halma's largest shareholders, proxy advisors and shareholder
representative organisations on the proposed Directors' Remuneration
Report (Resolution 3) and the proposed Directors' Remuneration
Policy (Resolution 4).
The Board was pleased to note that 92.88% of shareholders voted
in support of the proposed Directors' Remuneration Report. Accordingly,
the fiscal year 2022 salary change noted in the report will be
implemented by the Remuneration Committee with effect from 1 June
2021.
The Board was also pleased to note that 60.18% of shareholders
voted in support of the proposed Directors' Remuneration Policy,
the first substantial change for six years. Accordingly, the Policy
will take effect for three years from fiscal year 2022 and will
be implemented by the Remuneration Committee.
The Board acknowledges that some shareholders did not support the
Policy, in part due to the impact of concurrent increases in Executive
Director salaries, the potential Bonus maximum award and the potential
Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) maximum award, with 39.82% of shareholders
voting against Resolution 4.
The Board will engage with shareholders in relation to these matters
in the coming months. As part of this consultation, the Board will
seek to fully understand the reasons behind these votes against
and will provide an update in accordance with the UK Corporate
Governance Code within six months of the Annual General Meeting.
A copy of the resolutions passed at the AGM other than resolutions
concerning ordinary business will shortly be available for inspection
via the National Storage Mechanism at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
