Directorate Changes

As announced on 12 April 2023 and following the conclusion of the AGM, the Company confirms the appointment of Sam Mudd as an Executive Director and that David Maw has stepped down from his role as a Non-Executive Director.

Notes:

  • Proxy appointments giving discretion to the Chair of the meeting have been included in the "For" total.
  • A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.
  • The Company's total ordinary shares in issue (total voting rights) as at 10 July 2023, being the record date at which a person had to be registered in the Company's register of members in order to vote at the AGM, was 239,482,333 ordinary shares of £0.01 each. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per ordinary share held.

In compliance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, a copy of the resolutions passed at the AGM will be submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority via the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
