Two nominees received near-unanimous backing: Elizabeth Lewis-Gray led the slate with 99.89% of votes in favour, followed closely by Jonathan Gill at 99.83%. At the other end of the range, Sean Boyd recorded the highest number of votes withheld and the lowest percentage of support at 94.02%, still a commanding majority but the relative outlier on the ballot.

Founded in 1957, the company notes a long history of shareholder returns and distribution policy: it has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983.
