- Review shareholder opposition to the remuneration report and the political-donation authorization.
- Assess the voting support levels for individual directors, particularly Ridwaan Gasant, Alan Ferguson and Jochen Tilk.
- Verify the issued-share counts and the treatment of withheld, abstained and broker-non-votes when interpreting voting percentages.
- Obtain a separate quarterly or interim filing for financial performance through 31 March 2024, as those figures are not included here.
