The Board notes that a minority of shareholders voted against the advisory resolution on the Report of the Remuneration Committee and the re-election of the Committee Chairman. As part of ongoing engagement with shareholders ahead of the AGM, the Board received feedback from a number of shareholders and has a clear understanding of their views and expectations. In the period ahead, the Board will review all feedback from shareholders and build on past practice and continue its programme of engagement with shareholders on this and other matters.

Copies of the resolutions passed will be submitted to the Irish Stock Exchange and the UK National Storage Mechanism. These will shortly be available for inspection at Companies Announcements Office, Euronext Dublin, The Exchange, Foster Place, Dublin 2, and athttps://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
