We note that whilst the vote on the retrospective Advisory Remuneration Report was passed by shareholders at our AGM today, there were 51.5% in favour, 48.5% against and 30.9% abstained. Although the Executive Directors made significant reductions and adjustments to their 2012 LTIP awards - a scheme that was approved by 85% of shareholders in 2012 - we recognise that a sizeable number of shareholders remained concerned over the level of remuneration that ultimately resulted from the vesting of these 2012 awards.
As part of the regular interaction with shareholders and following the resignations of the Chairman and Remuneration Committee Chair in recognition of the absence of a cap to the 2012 LTIP scheme, the Acting Chairman and new Remuneration Chair undertook further extensive shareholder engagement in 2018, speaking with shareholders on a number of occasions.
In February 2018, the Executive Directors informed the Remuneration Committee of a series of decisions intended to reduce the scale of payments under the 2012 LTIP, to cap the future value on exercise to a maximum value equal to GBP29 per share, to extend the holding periods under any second tranche and to make these changes subject to continued employment.
We are grateful for the support that allows us to draw a line under the 2012 LTIP debate and move forward.
In this context, shareholders at last year's AGM approved the 2017 Performance Share Plan (2017 PSP) with a vote in favour of over 95% for the new Plan. At the same time we adopted a new remuneration policy which included provision to grant awards to the Executive Directors under the 2017 PSP. The vote in favour of this new remuneration policy was over 96%. There will not be any PSP awards to Executive Directors in calendar year 2018. We will consult with our major shareholders on quantum and metrics for future awards for Executive Directors under the new Plan, and awards made to this group will only be granted after the 2012 LTIP has vested (i.e. when the Capital Return Plan has returned GBP1.9bn to shareholders). The earliest that any PSP awards would be granted to Executive Directors is therefore 2019. The earliest vesting date for such awards would be 31 December 2021 with a holding period for two further years i.e. until December 2023.
For 2018, in addition to the reduction and amendments to the 2012 LTIP awards, all Directors have waived increases to their salaries. The Executive Directors have also waived participation in any bonus for 2018, and the Remuneration Committee has endorsed the Executives' request that any such bonuses be distributed to staff who have not participated in the 2012 LTIP and 2017 PSP.
Total shareholder returns to date from the launch of the Group's new strategy in 2012 now exceed 500%, placing us at number 2 in the FTSE 100 and we have delivered more than GBP8bn to shareholders in that period.
Finally, we have announced the appointment of a new Chairman, Roger Devlin, who will join the Board and the Remuneration Committee on 1 June 2018.
