In respect of those resolutions where there was over circa 5% voted against, namely resolution 6 (the re-election of Anne Fahy), resolution 7 (the re-election of James Bilefield) and resolution 10 (the re-appointment of PwC as auditors), the Company has already reached out to investors to better understand the reasons for these against votes. In recognition of the fact that some investors voiced concerns at the Board Chair also being a member of the Audit Committee, it is confirmed that James Bilefield will step down from that Committee.
SThree plc is also pleased to announce that Kate Danson, who joined the business as General Counsel on 1 March 2020, will now also be taking on the role of Group Company Secretary, effective from 1 May 2021.
