The total number of shares held by independent shareholders, excluding the controlling shareholder, in issue at the voting date is 64,121,805.

The votes shown in the first table above for each independent director include those of the controlling shareholder. In the second table above, the controlling shareholder is not included.

Since the completion of the combination with the Software business of Schneider Electric, the Company has created approximately GBP3 billion in shareholder value and has now entered the FTSE100.

This has been achieved by steering substantial change and rapid development in the business over this period with the recruitment of a new CEO, the retention of key executives, the creation of a new, shared culture and the reshaping of the leadership team. This did necessitate the use of a retention bonus for our CFO and a buyout equity award to recruit our new CEO which some shareholders did not feel they could support and the Board and the Remuneration Committee notes that there was a level of opposition votes from shareholders on Resolution 2 of more than 20 percent.

As in 2018, the Board has engaged extensively with shareholders ahead of the Annual General Meeting on these legacy remuneration issues and increased disclosure and transparency of incentive scheme targets, obtaining some very helpful and constructive input. The Company recognises the push for more transparency regarding incentive scheme targets and will review this for future Remuneration reports, while balancing increased disclosure with the need to protect any commercially sensitive areas of strategic focus.
