Notes:
1. Any proxy appointments giving discretion to the Chairman of the Meeting have been included in the "For" total. 2. A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution. 3. The Company's total ordinary shares in issue (total voting rights) as at 24 July 2019 was 737 243 810 ordinary shares of 10 pence each. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per ordinary share held. 4. As the Company has a controlling shareholder, Remgro Limited, as defined in the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules, each resolution to elect an independent non-executive director (Resolutions 4, 8, 10 to 12 and 14) have under Listing Rule 9.2.2E been approved by a majority of the votes cast by: (a) the shareholders of the Company as a whole; and (b) the independent shareholders of the Company, that is, all the shareholders entitled to vote on each resolution, excluding the controlling shareholder.
Statement regarding voting results
The Board notes that while Resolutions 2 and 18 were passed with a majority of 71.44% and 78.88% respectively, a number of our shareholders opposed these resolutions.
The views of all shareholders are important to us and we are disappointed in this outcome. We will reflect carefully on the different feedback already received and continue to engage with shareholders on this important issue, to understand more fully the reasons for their position.
We will publish an update on that engagement within six months of the AGM. In the meantime, the Board notes that as indicated in our 2019 Annual Report, we expect to seek shareholder approval for a new Directors' Remuneration Policy at our AGM in 2020 in line with the normal cycle for renewal and taking into consideration investors' feedback.
Additionally, the voting outcome on Resolution 18 reflects the prevailing institutional voting policies in South Africa. As a company with a primary premium listing on the London Stock Exchange, the Board considers it appropriate to seek authorities in line with the UK Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines, which provide the Company with greater flexibility to respond to market developments and business opportunities as they arise. Many of our South African institutional investors understand the Company's position but they operate under mandates that do not allow them to support this level of flexibility. We will continue to engage with our South African shareholders on this topic; however in view of the marked differences between UK and South African market practice in this area, it is likely that there will continue to be significant votes against this resolution (and, as a consequence, the resolutions regarding the disapplication of pre-emption rights).
In accordance with paragraph 9.6.2 of the Listing Rules, a copy of the resolutions passed at the meeting has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
The complete poll results and details of proxy votes lodged before the AGM will be available shortly on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://ir.mediclinic.com.
