i)* A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in
the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against
resolutions
ii) Any votes that give discretion to the Chairman have been
included in the "For" total.
iii) At close of business of 17 September 2019 there were
32,502,716 shares in issue.
The Board notes the result of Resolution 4 (the re-appointment
of Nick Donaldson). From our ongoing communications with investors
and proxy voting agencies, we understand that the concerns are
largely in relation to Mr Donaldson being overboarded in terms of
the calls on his time. The Board will consult with those
shareholders who did not vote in favour to understand their views
with respect to Mr Donaldson's multiple board commitments. The
Board is confident that Mr Donaldson discharges effectively his
role as Chairman, notwithstanding his other board commitments.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions
passed as special business of the meeting will be uploaded to the
National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
Dividend dates
In relation to announcement made earlier today regarding the
dividend of 35 pence per share, which will be paid on 8 November
2019 for shareholders on the register at 27 September 2019, with an
ex-dividend date of 26 September 2019. The last date for elections
for the dividend re-investment plan is 18 October 2019 and not 11
