Update statement regarding the 2020 AGM proxy voting.

We are aware that the Corporate Governance Code provides that where any company receives significant opposition against a board recommendation for a resolution, the company should explain what actions it intends to take to consult shareholders about the result, and that an update on the views received from shareholders and actions taken should be published no later than six months after the shareholder meeting.

The resolution which received significant opposition at our 2020 AGM was in respect of the re-election of Nick Donaldson as a director. On the same date, 18 September 2020, we announced that Nick Donaldson would be retiring from the Board of Games Workshop no later than the 2021 AGM, and we have since confirmed that this retirement date will be at the end of May 2021. For this reason, we did not feel it necessary or appropriate to consult with shareholders about this result. On the basis that no consultation has taken place, there is therefore no update on views received or actions taken.

The 2019 AGM was held on 18 September 2019 and the notice of meeting can be downloaded as a pdf here. The results of the proxy voting can be downloaded as a pdf here.

Update statement regarding the 2019 AGM proxy voting

In response to the voting outcome on resolution 4 (re-appointment of Nick Donaldson) at the 2019 AGM, the Board today provides the following information, as an update to the statement made in September 2019 on this matter.

Following the 2019 AGM, we actively engaged with those shareholders holding over 50,000 shares who had voted against these resolutions. The Company had not received any contact from these shareholders in advance of the 2019 AGM nor indications that they were intending to vote against any of the resolutions.

Following our request, three shareholders responded and explained that they had voted against the resolutions due to concerns that Nick Donaldson was overboarded in terms of the call on his time.  Nick’s time commitments were then more fully explained to allay this concern. The Board is confident that Nick discharges effectively his role as Chairman, notwithstanding his other board commitments.

The board of Games Workshop remains fully committed to shareholder engagement and we welcome ongoing dialogue with all of our investors. We will set out further detail of this dialogue and interaction in our next annual report.
