The Company has always been proactive in engaging with its major shareholders, as well as discussing and considering issues raised by shareholders at its AGMs.  Noting the outcome of the vote on the Directors' remuneration report (resolution 2) this year, the Remuneration Committee has undertaken to contact major shareholders to identify their concerns, and the Board will then consider how best to address them.

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions passed by Morgan Advanced Materials plc shareholders concerning items other than ordinary business have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

 

Notes:

 

1.     Votes "for" and "against" are expressed as a percentage of votes received. Votes "for" include those at the Chairman's discretion.

2.     Votes "withheld" are not votes in law and, therefore, have not been included in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" or "against" a resolution.

*     Indicates special resolution.
