Resolution 13
We note that Resolution 13, a shareholder resolution on climate
change targets, that the board of directors recommended not to
approve, has been rejected by shareholders. However, we recognise
that some shareholders (20.65% of votes cast) chose to support this
resolution.
We will continue to engage with shareholders on our strategy,
targets and aims so as to ensure their views are fully understood.
We will publish an update on this engagement, in accordance with
the UK Corporate Governance Code, within six months of the 2021
AGM.
Board changes
As previously announced, Professor Dame Ann Dowling and Brendan
Nelson did not stand for re-election at the AGM. Following the
conclusion of the AGM, Tushar Morzaria has been appointed as chair
of the audit committee and Karen Richardson has become a member of
the audit committee.
This notice is given in fulfilment of the obligations under
paragraph 9.6.11R of the Listing Rules.
