*Resolutions 14-17 were special resolutions.  Copies of resolutions 12-17 will be filed at Companies House.

 

While Resolutions 5, 6, 12, and 13 passed, they received a significant number of votes against. The Board takes this feedback seriously and, in line with Provision 4 of the AIC Corporate Governance Code 2024, the Board will report on the actions it has taken to further engage with shareholders.

The Board also expects to undertake a further round of formal shareholder engagement in approximately six months to update on progress.  

 

 Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not a vote in law and are therefore not counted in the calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a resolution. Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the resolutions, and their shares have been included in the "votes for" column.

 

The total number of ordinary shares of 1p each in issue is 505,099,478. The total number of voting rights is: 505,099,478.   

 

In accordance with LR 6.4.2, a copy of the resolutions passed, other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, at today's AGM will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at  https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
