The Board of ContourGlobal notes that more than 20% of votes were cast against the resolution to re-elect Mr Craig A. Huff, the Chairman, as a Director.  The Board acknowledges that certain votes against this resolution were based on the current level of gender diversity on the Board, as well as a request for greater transparency on succession planning.  The Board is grateful for the time and feedback provided by shareholders on these matters and will continue to engage with shareholders in relation to them. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Company will publish an update on ongoing engagement within six months of the AGM.

 

Notes:

 

1.  Any proxy arrangement which gave discretion to the Chairman has been included in the "for" totals.

 

2.  A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against" any resolution.

 

3.  The total number of ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) as at 6.30pm on 10 May 2022 was 670,712,920 (the "Share Capital"). The Company holds 14,999,505 shares in treasury. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per Ordinary Share held.
