Re-election of Chairman and Senior Independent Director
The Board notes that a significant minority of votes were received against the re-election of our Chairman, Scott Forbes (resolution 6) and our Senior Independent Director, Peter Williams (resolution 9).
The Board seeks to ensure that each Director has time to meet the requirements of their role and is satisfied that all Directors have sufficient capacity to meet their commitments to Rightmove plc, including during periods when Rightmove or other commitments require greater than usual involvement from the Directors. We have consulted with a number of our shareholders and corresponded with proxy advisors over concerns raised about directors’ time commitments and will continue to engage with shareholders over the course of the year on this matter.
