*A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted towards votes cast "For" or "Against" a resolution.
While pleased that shareholders have approved all resolutions proposed at the 2018 AGM, including strong support for our 2018 remuneration report, the Board notes a significant minority vote against the resolution to approve our Remuneration Policy (resolution 3). As outlined in our annual report, the remuneration policy is largely unchanged from the previous policy approved at the 2015 AGM. However, the Remuneration Committee has introduced recovery provisions (clawback and malus) for all variable remuneration and will now also have the power to implement shareholding guidelines, mandatory bonus deferral and an additional LTIP post-vesting holding period during the lifetime of the policy.
The Board and the Remuneration Committee have engaged extensively with shareholders and proxy advisors and have gained a clear insight into the reasons for the number of votes registered against Resolution 3, which primarily relate to the absence of the structural features outlined. The Remuneration Committee recognises that, at certain companies, the absence of those features may be a cause for concern. However at Wizz Air, the sole executive director - the CEO and Co-founder - owns shares currently valued at approximately GBP 69 million (circa 115 times salary). This holding ensures strong alignment between the interests of the CEO and those of shareholders.
The Remuneration Committee will, as a matter of course, continue to keep such features and shareholder feedback under close review, while maintaining a philosophy of simplicity and low cost which has been very effective in driving strong performance and delivering shareholder value.
In accordance with paragraph 9.2.2E of the Listing Rules, the resolutions to re-elect Thierry de Preux, Guido Demuynck, Simon Duffy and Susan Hooper as directors of the Company were approved by (a) the shareholders of the Company (resolutions 6, 8, 10, and 12) and (b) the independent shareholders of the Company (resolutions 7, 9, 11, and 13).
As announced to the market, John McMahon retired as a Director prior to the meeting with immediate effect. Resolutions 15 and 16 dealt with the re-election of John McMahon as a Director and were therefore redundant and would, if passed, be ineffective. They were therefore withdrawn at the meeting.
In accordance with paragraph 9.6.2R of the Listing Rules, a copy of the special resolution approved at the AGM has been forwarded to the Financial Conduct Authority for publication through the Document Viewing Facility and will be accessible via the National Storage Mechanism website (www.hemscott.com/nsm.do).
The total voting rights of the Company as at 1:00 p.m. on 20 July 2018, being the day on which shareholders had to be on the Company's shareholder register in order to be eligible to vote, was 72,746,171.
The AGM results will also be made available on the Company's website: http://corporate.www.wizzair.com.
