FEEDBACK ON ENGAGEMENT WITH SHAREHOLDERS
Further to the announcement released on SENS on 8 February 2018
relating to Astral Foods’ invitation to shareholders to engage
with the Company on the Remuneration Policy and the
Remuneration Implementation Report, shareholders are advised
that the telephone conference took place on Thursday 22
February 2018 as follows:
- Only two shareholders, holding approximately 7.6% of
voteable shares in Astral Foods, participated in the
telephone conference (“participating shareholders”);
- Both shareholders indicated that they had in fact voted in
favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Policy and
Remuneration Implementation Report and raised no material
areas of concern in relation to Astral Foods’ Remuneration
Policy and the Remuneration Implementation Report. A
recommendation was made by one shareholder for the Company
to reconsider the hurdle target rates recommended for the
allocation of the newly implemented Forfeiture Share Plan;
and
- One shareholder, holding approximately 0.20% of voteable
shares in Astral Foods, advised the Company prior to the
telephone conference, that he voted against the
Remuneration Policy due to the fact that no targets for
the EVA bonus scheme was included in the Integrated
Report.
Astral Foods has undertaken to formally table the
abovementioned areas of concern at its next Human Resources,
Remuneration and Nominations Committee meeting for
consideration.
