Appointment of Auditor

Another crucial decision was the appointment of the company’s auditor. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP secured the position, retaining its role until the next annual meeting or until a successor is designated. The motion received overwhelming approval with 180,933,130 votes (98.29% For) compared to 3,139,692 votes against (1.71% Withheld).

Executive Compensation Resolution

Shareholders also expressed their opinions on the company's executive compensation strategy through a non-binding advisory vote. The resolution gained approval with 165,775,649 votes in favor (97.25%), while 4,680,997 votes opposed it (2.75%). This endorsement reflects shareholder alignment with the current compensation practices.

Future Virtual-Only Meetings

A significant change to company policy was also presented to the shareholders, proposing that the 2027 AGM be conducted in a virtual-only format. While the resolution was approved, it did face some resistance, with 106,379,295 votes in favor (62.41%) and 64,077,351 votes against (37.59%). This decision underscores the company’s adaptation to modern meeting practices while also addressing concerns regarding accessibility and participation.
