The Board notes the strong support from shareholders for all except one of the resolutions but acknowledges the material votes against resolution 2 (to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 November 2024), which the Board believes were substantially cast by a single shareholder.   The Board takes the views of all of its shareholders seriously and intends to engage with the shareholder in question to understand better their concerns with a view to identifying how such concerns may be addressed. The Board will provide an update on the results of this engagement and actions taken in due course.
