Resolutions 2, 3 & 12
Since last year's AGM the Company has conducted an extensive
shareholder engagement and consultation process on remuneration. As
a result of this process, and reflecting shareholder feedback, we
made a number of changes to the Company's Remuneration policy and
approach. With the majority of shareholders voting in support of
the new Directors' Remuneration Policy and the Directors'
Remuneration Report, we believe the results reflect significant
progress.
Regarding Resolution 12, which was also supported by a majority
of shareholders, as announced on 11 April 2019, an orderly
succession process is currently underway to identify a new Chairman
for the Group. This follows the evolution of the Board's
composition over the last year, with the appointment of four new
non-executive directors, which was led by our Chairman, Alan
Jackson.
However, we recognise that the vote against these resolutions
was more than 20% and we will continue to engage with investors on
these important issues to make further progress.
In line with the provisions of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance
Code, we will provide an update on the views received from
shareholders on these issues and actions taken in response no later
than in six months' time.
On 15 May 2019, the issued share capital of the Company was
309,294,243 ordinary shares of no par value.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions
(other than those concerning ordinary business) will be submitted
to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for viewing
at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm
The proxy figures for the resolutions will also displayed on the
Company's corporate website -www.playtech.com
