Tanith Dodge, Chairman of the Robert Walters Group Remuneration
Committee, commented:
"The Group delivered record profits in 2019. We note the vote in
respect of last year's remuneration report and the desire from a
number of shareholders for the Group to refine disclosure levels
moving forward.
The Group has been engaged in ongoing efforts to ensure there is
an improved level of visibility year on year and we will strive to
improve disclosure albeit also balanced against legitimate
commercial concerns.
The Board will continue discussions with shareholders to ensure
that views are fully understood and the Group will publish an
update within six months of the Annual General Meeting.
As already announced, on 9 April, Executive Directors have taken
a voluntary pay cut of 20% effective 1 April."
At the date of the meeting, there were 80,140,680 ordinary
shares in issue.
A vote withheld is not a vote at law and has not been counted in
the votes for and against.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, a copy of all resolutions
passed other than resolutions concerning ordinary business will
shortly be submitted to the UK Listing Authority via the National
Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
