As part of ongoing engagement with shareholders ahead of the AGM, the Board received feedback from some shareholders concerning certain aspects of executive director remuneration. The Board has a clear understanding of those shareholder views and expectations and will continue its programme of engagement with shareholders on this and other matters.
