The Board has considered the results of the AGM today and notes the level of votes cast against resolution 7 (the re-election of Christopher P. Spencer) by a small number of shareholders.

 

We have engaged with our major shareholders ahead of the vote and understand their views on these matters and the differing philosophies they apply.  

 

Following the outcome of today's vote, we will contact shareholders to discuss these matters again and will keep best practice in these areas under review.   In accordance with the provisions of the 2019 AIC Code of Corporate Governance, we shall provide an update on this engagement process over the coming months.

 

Shareholders will also note that John Loudon has decided not to put himself forward for re-election as a director and stepped down from the Board immediately prior to the AGM. The remaining Directors would like the express their gratitude and thanks to Mr Loudon for the service that he has provided to the Company since its inception, and they wish him well with his future endeavours.
