SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 7, 2023
Dear Luxfer Shareholders,
The 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “AGM”) of Luxfer Holdings PLC (“Luxfer,” the “Company,” “we,” and “our”) will be held on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. BST. This proxy statement supplement, dated May 23, 2023 (this “Supplement”), supplements the Company’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2023, in relation to the AGM (the “Proxy Statement”).
This Supplement provides additional biographical information with respect to Sylvia A. Stein, a current Non-Executive Director who is standing for election at the AGM. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, including Ms. Stein’s biography set forth on page 26. In deciding how to vote on Resolution 5, we encourage you to carefully read the relevant portions of the Proxy Statement and consider the information provided in this Supplement. We recommend that shareholders vote FOR Resolution 5 to elect Sylvia A. Stein as a Director of the Company.
SUPPLEMENTAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION | ||
Following the date on which the Proxy Statement was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and first made available to shareholders, Sylvia A. Stein accepted a new role as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Veralto Corporation (“Veralto”), the company to be spun off by Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) (“Danaher”). Veralto will be formed from Danaher’s Environmental and Applied Solutions segment, a provider of water quality and product identification solutions, which generated revenue of approximately $4.8 billion in 2022. It is anticipated that the spinoff will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. Accordingly, Ms. Stein resigned as Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary, and Chief Compliance Officer of Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD), with her resignation taking effect on June 16, 2023.
In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which require Directors to offer their resignation upon a change in the business position upon which their original nomination was based, Sylvia A. Stein offered to resign from our Board of Directors (the “Board”). Following review of the circumstances and upon recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board rejected Ms. Stein’s offer of resignation, determining that her continued service as a Director is appropriate and her new role with Veralto does not affect her independence, give rise to a conflict of interest, or otherwise raise any governance concerns.
While Ms. Stein’s employment with Veralto will not commence until after the AGM, the Board believes that shareholders may find this information relevant when deciding how to vote on Resolution 5 to elect Sylvia A. Stein as a Director of the Company. The qualifications, skills, and attributes that the Board considered in its decision to nominate Ms. Stein as a Director remain valid, and the Board believes that Ms. Stein’s experience with Veralto is likely to augment these skills and qualifications. Additional information regarding Sylvia A. Stein’s qualifications, skills, and attributes, and the Board’s consideration of said factors in her nomination, can be found on pages 26-28 of the Proxy Statement.
