At the 2014 AGM, no votes that were cast were voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

The Remuneration Report:

  • (a) describes the policy behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between the remuneration of employees and the Company’s performance;

  • (b) sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each Director and for certain members of the senior management team; and

  • (c) explains the differences between the basis for remunerating Non-Executive Directors and executives of the Company.

A reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report will be provided at the meeting.
