Board response to Resolution 2 - To approve the Directors' Remuneration Report

While pleased that all proposals at the AGM were supported by a significant majority of shareholders, the Board notes that more than 20% of votes were cast against Resolution 2 which received an advisory vote of 72.97%. The Board understands shareholders were concerned with the decision not to apply malus and clawback to the FY23 bonus and 2021 LTIP vesting outcomes. As disclosed within the 2024 Annual Report and Accounts, the Remuneration Committee considered multiple factors, including the quantum of the adjustment, shareholder experience, pay outcomes for 2024 and the impact of the cost issues on future awards. The Committee assessed the impact of these events taking account of its malus and clawback discretionary powers, taking a holistic approach. The Remuneration Committee weighed up all of these factors and determined not to exercise discretion to take any action in respect of the FY23 bonus or 2021 LTIP outcomes. The Board has actively engaged with shareholders over the course of the last year and we will continue to do so, to remain cognisant of their views for future remuneration decisions. In line with the UK Corporate Governance Code, we will publish an update within six months of the 2025 AGM.
