Results of General Meeting
6 December 2019
Whitbread PLC (the "Company" or "Whitbread") is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting of the Company, held on 6 December 2019, ordinary resolutions to approve the revised Directors' Remuneration Policy and the draft rules of the Restricted Share Plan (the "RSP") were decided on a poll and passed by shareholders.
Details of the resolutions were set out in Whitbread's circular to shareholders dated 13 November 2019 (the "Circular").
Whilst the Board is pleased that the remuneration policy has been supported by the majority of shareholders, it is acknowledged that a number of shareholders voted against the proposal. The Board recognises that arriving at a position on remuneration that can meet the approval of all shareholders is very hard to do. It has therefore undertaken an extensive consultation with a significant proportion of shareholders. The Board believes that this proposal is the best structure to provide strong alignment with shareholders' interests and the delivery of the Company's ambitious long-term plan to create value by investing in the UK and expanding internationally. The Board appreciates that restricted stock plans are, as yet, relatively uncommon and practice is evolving. However, as a result of the introduction of this new policy, including a reduction in pension contributions, there will be a substantial reduction in the pay opportunity for the senior executive team. In the circumstances, the Board believes that a vote of 70% in favour is an acceptable outcome and is committed to continuing its constructive discussions and engagement with all of Whitbread's shareholders.
At the voting record time, the Company had 146,820,280 ordinary shares in issue, of which 13,119,718 ordinary shares were held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company was 133,700,562.
The number of votes for and against each resolution, and the number of votes withheld are as follows:
VOTES VOTES VOTES % of VOTES Resolution FOR % AGAINST % TOTAL ISC VOTED WITHHELD* ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- 1.To approve the revised Directors' Remuneration Policy 64,495,817 70.46% 27,038,317 29.54% 91,534,134 68.46% 178,635 ----------- ------- ----------- ------- ----------- ----------- ----------- 2.To approve the adoption of the Whitbread Restricted Share Plan 63,908,522 69.82% 27,622,131 30.18% 91,530,653 68.46% 182,116 ----------- ------- ----------- ------- ----------- ----------- -----------
