Barclays PLC said Wednesday that the resolution to approve its directors' remuneration report passed with a 89.03% vote count at its general meeting.

The FTSE 100 listed bank's investors had been recommended to oppose the policy by major adviser Pirc on concerns over the pay of its highest paid director last year, the group finance director Tushar Morzaria, according to a report published by Financial News earlier on Wednesday.

Financial News is owned by News Corp, the parent company of the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires.

Barclays's remuneration report is for the year ended Dec. 31.

The lender also said that the resolution to approve the lender's climate strategy, targets and progress for 2022 only got the support of 80.81% of the vote count.
