*AGM Update
The Company notes the outcome of voting on Resolution 13 at the 2019 AGM, relating to the Remuneration Policy, which received majority support (64.9%) from shareholders. This Remuneration Policy was the existing Policy which was last consulted on in 2017. Following the significant disruption caused by COVID-19, the Board sought support from shareholders to have the option to extend its existing policy for a year to avoid policy distraction whilst the Board and Management Team focused on the immediate response to COVID-19 and, in particular, building stability and security through 2021 and beyond. The Board was pleased to receive this majority support.
Informa maintains a regular dialogue with investors, including an Annual Shareholder Roadshow led by the Chairman, and having spoken to a number of shareholders both before the AGM and afterwards, it is clear that the minority vote against the Policy extension was almost exclusively due to the absence of an update on amending existing Executive Director post-employment shareholding commitments and contractual pension entitlements.
The current Remuneration Policy is clear on these matters, in respect of all future Executive Director appointments. However, for the existing Executive Directors, the Board always intended to agree a set of amendments, but as these would require a change to existing legal contractual agreements, this required more time and coincided with the Chairman succession process.
As confirmed within Informa’s recent Half-Year Results, the Chairman succession process, which was previously well progressed, has now resumed.
Following the AGM vote, and recognizing the views of a minority of shareholders on the above two specific matters, the Remuneration Committee has now reached an agreement with the two existing Executive Directors and can now confirm the Group will meet the timetable and guidance on both, post-employment shareholding requirements and amending pension entitlements.
The Board is confident that providing this commitment will address the concerns of the minority of shareholders who raised the above issues.
The Board looks forward to continued engagement with its shareholders on this and any other matters.

*AGM Resolution Update
The Company noted the outcome of voting on Resolution 12 at the 2019 AGM, relating to the reappointment of Stephen Davidson as Non-Executive Director, which received 64.4% support from shareholders. Informa maintains a regular dialogue with investors, including an Annual Shareholder Roadshow led by the Chairman, and so is aware of differing views on the evolving topic of overboarding, which was reflected in the minority vote against the reappointment. The Board remains of the unanimous view that Mr Davidson has always devoted over and above the necessary commitment to Informa, both through attendance and contributions at scheduled Board Meetings, and availability for unscheduled meetings and activities, including participating in the Annual Chairman’s Shareholder Roadshow. Since the AGM, the Company has continued to engage with shareholders on this and other topics and the Board will continue to review feedback received to determine what further steps to take. This will be appropriately reflected in the resolutions put forward at the 2020 AGM.

Notice
*Remuneration Policy and Share Scheme Update
The Company noted in May the outcome of voting at the 2018 AGM on the resolutions in relation to Informa’s updated Remuneration Policy and its Share Scheme Approval, which received 64.2% and 69.5% support from shareholders respectively. Informa maintains a regular dialogue with its shareholders to establish an open forum for discussion on key market and company specific issues and the Board had consulted extensively before proposals were put to them. It was clear at the time that there were many differing views, which were reflected in the minority vote against these particular resolutions. Inline with the majority of our shareholders, we firmly believe the updated Policy is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. However, given our clear commitment to governance best practise and proactive stakeholder engagement, the Board has since written to all its major shareholders inviting further discussion, with a series of face-to-face meetings scheduled in Q1 2019. The feedback will be discussed by the Board and appropriately reflected in the resolutions put forward at the 2019 AGM.

*Remuneration Report Update
At the 2017 AGM, the 2016 Annual Report on Remuneration received 71% support from shareholders. We engage regularly with our shareholders, and are aware of differing views expressed in recent discussions. The Committee has a clear commitment to governance, best practice, and listening to shareholders. Over the last year, the Committee has reviewed its executive remuneration framework and Remuneration Policy, including its approach to target-setting. Some changes will be proposed for 2018, and it is our intention to enter a period of shareholder consultation in March 2018, ahead of the AGM in May. Once the consultation has concluded, we will write to shareholders confirming the changes. The changes will also be discussed in further detail in the 2017 Annual Report on Remuneration.
