In addition, further to the announcement by the Company in
January, Dr. Siyamak Rasty has stepped down from the Company's
Board of Directors with effect from the conclusion of today's
AGM.
The Board recognises that, whilst resolution 2 was passed with a
clear majority at almost 80%, there was also a significant vote
against this resolution. The Board will seek to engage with those
shareholders who voted against this resolution and it is
anticipated that a revised remuneration policy will be presented to
shareholders for their approval at the Company's AGM in 2024. In
accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, an update on the
views received from shareholders and details of any further actions
taken by the Company will be published no later than 23 December
2023 by way of Stock Exchange Announcement. A summary will also be
published in the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts.
