*Includes discretionary votes.
**A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not
counted towards the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" the
resolution.
All resolutions presented to shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting were passed with the required majority of votes.
However, the Board of M&C Saatchi notes that 20% or more of
votes were cast against the Board's recommendation for resolutions
2, 6, 10 and 11. We remain committed to a constructive and positive
relationship with our shareholders and as such, will continue to
engage actively with our shareholders to understand their views
and, where applicable, their reasons for the votes against these
resolutions. We value the input and views of all shareholders and
will carefully consider all feedback. We will publish an update on
that engagement and on any action taken as a result of this within
six months of the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the UK
Corporate Governance Code.
The results of the poll will be published on the Company's
website https://www.mcsaatchiplc.com/reports-results/2022
