Shareholder Relations

The Company is committed to ongoing, transparent communication across the shareholder base, whether to institutional investors, private or employee shareholders. The Summary Financial Statement, which details key facts about the Group’s performance, is distributed to those private shareholders who have requested it. All Annual Reports and AGM documents, announcements, presentations and press releases are available on our www.bbg.co.uk website.

The Company engages in two-way communication with institutional shareholders, fund managers and analysts to discuss publicly available information on its strategy, performance and policies. The Board receives feedback on these communications from the Directors attending the meeting, and is also regularly apprised of comments from institutional shareholders and analysts so that all Directors can develop a balanced understanding of the issues and concerns of shareholders. The Chairman and Senior Independent Director are available to meet shareholders on request, and will ensure that the Board is aware of any shareholder concerns not resolved through the usual investor communications routes. At each AGM, there is a review of the Group’s performance and the Board welcomes the opportunity to gather views and take questions from shareholders.

In connection with the AGM, the Company discloses the level of proxy voting (including for, against and votes withheld), proposes separate resolutions and has a policy that the committee chairmen should attend the Meeting. In addition, the Notice of the AGM and any related papers are sent out to arrive at least 20 business days before the Meeting to ensure that shareholders have sufficient time in which to consider the items of business.
