a) Any proxy appointments which give discretion to the Chairman
have been included in the "for" total.
b) At close of business on 25 April 2018 there were 241,179,469
relevant shares in issue (excluding treasury shares).
The Board is delighted that more than 90% of our investors voted
in favour of our new remuneration policy, which reflects the active
role they played in the consultation and in setting the proposals.
Based on the insights from our engagement exercise, the Board
believes that the small minority who did not feel able to support
the policy on this occasion reflects a continued preference for
conventional LTI awards among some investors. We will continue to
actively engage with these investors to discuss the merits of our
new policy and its appropriateness for Weir.
A copy of the resolutions passed concerning special business has
been submitted and will shortly be available for inspection at the
National Storage Mechanism which is located at
