During the end of year audit process, the Board became aware of an issue concerning technical compliance with the Companies Act 2006 in relation to a historic dividend payments. Although there were sufficient distributable reserves and cash held in the Group which could have been distributed, dividends were declared at times when the Company did not hold adequate distributable reserves by reference to its relevant historic annual accounts. The Company's historic reported trading results and financial condition are entirely unaffected.
The Board proposes to put a resolution to Shareholders at its 2023 annual general meeting to address this past issue.
