Assurances have been sought with regard to the voting issues that arose at AGM, and that action has been taken to ensure that all eligible members will be able to vote at the EGM. Action has also been taken to have the “Discretion” box reinstatedonto the Proxy Vote form. We have also been involved with the decision to allow members to provide a Statement at the EGM (Note 5), providing they achieve the backing required.
