The Group actively engages with its shareholders and believes that the Remuneration Policy changes are necessary, appropriate and in their best interests. Phase One of the Build to Last transformation programme has created a solid foundation for Balfour Beatty’s future profitable growth, but there remains much to be done to achieve the Group’s full potential value and the new Policy aligns with that goal. The Committee will ensure that implementation of the Policy, from target-setting to incentive awards, focuses on that objective and will continue to listen carefully to shareholders’ views and consult on any material changes. Notes: The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of votes “For” and “Against” a resolution. The total number of Ordinary Shares of 50p each in the Company in issue at 6.00 pm on 16 May 2017 was 689,739,619, each carrying one vote.
