Notes

 

*Special resolution

 

The votes "for" include those votes giving discretion to the Chairman. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.

 

The Company has considered the reasons for the results of today's meeting and reflected in the voting outcomes for the resolutions regarding the approval of the new Remuneration Policy (Resolution 3) and the PSP (Resolution 4), which were passed with a majority vote of 77.19% and 79.62% in favour respectively.

In developing the Remuneration Policy, the Remuneration Committee engaged extensively with shareholders. While a significant majority of shareholders supported the resolutions, we will continue to consult with shareholders and carefully consider this input as we implement the Policy. We remain committed to maintaining a remuneration policy that supports our strategic objectives and aligns with shareholder interests. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, we will publish an update on the outcome of any further engagement feedback received within six months of the Annual General Meeting and a summary of views will be included in our next Annual Report.

Copies of the resolutions passed will shortly be available for inspection on the National Storage Mechanism at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. The full text of the resolutions can be found in the AGM Notice which can be located in the Investors section of the Company's website at the following location: www.berkeleygroup.co.uk/investors.
