The Company notes the low number of shares voted at this year's AGM compared to previous years. Following the CSD migration in March 2021 the votes at the AGMs of many Irish-listed companies have fallen but to a lesser degree and we will be following up with selected shareholders to try and ascertain their reasons for not voting.
The Company also notes the number of votes against Resolution 6. This resolution complies with market practice and guidance from the Investment Association. Some investors have advised us that they have a policy of voting against this authority even though it is considered acceptable under good corporate governance practice. We do not intend seeking any further feedback from shareholders on this matter.
