FUTURE PLC

Result of Annual General Meeting

The Board is pleased to note that all resolutions passed with the requisite majority of votes. Having consulted extensively with shareholders in recent months, the Board is pleased that Resolutions 3 and 18 passed with a majority of votes, but acknowledges that a proportion of shareholders voted against these Resolutions and their reasons for doing so.

The Remuneration Policy and Value Creation Plan reflect the constructive feedback we have received from shareholders during the consultation process, and recognise the key role that all Future's colleagues play in delivering our ambitious strategy. The Value Creation Plan is directly aligned to shareholder interests by incentivising and rewarding exceptional performance and the sustained delivery of further significant increases in shareholder value creation over the next 3-5 years. The Plan also reflects Future's culture, with participation extending throughout the Company, and the majority of the potential award being shared amongst the wider workforce.

Noting the outcome of Resolution 4, to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report, the Board acknowledges the feedback provided by shareholders on the salary increase awarded to the CEO. As set out in the Remuneration Report, the Company has continued to perform exceptionally, and grow in scale and complexity, since the last review of CEO salary in 2018. The Remuneration Committee concluded that an adjustment for 2021 was appropriate in this wider context (with no further increase to be awarded for at least two years).

The Board is grateful for the time and feedback provided by shareholders on these matters, and will continue to engage with shareholders. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Company will publish an update on ongoing engagement within six months of the AGM.

Resolutions 1 to 18 (inclusive) were passed as ordinary resolutions, resolutions 19 to 22 were passed as special resolutions.

The results of votes cast by proxy for each resolution were as follows:
