The Board has noted the votes received in respect of Resolution
3 (Directors' Remuneration Policy). The Remuneration Committee
recognises that, while a significant level of support has been
received for the Directors' Remuneration Policy, not all
shareholders have voted in support and we value their feedback. The
Remuneration Committee will consider the feedback provided and will
engage in a dialogue with major shareholders regarding remuneration
matters ahead of the 2018 AGM when the Company's remuneration
policy is next scheduled to be put to the vote.
