The Board appreciates the support
shown by the majority of shareholders for the resolutions at
today's AGM, and it notes the outcome of the voting on resolutions
6 and 13, both related to remuneration.
While we welcome the support of over
two thirds of our shareholders on resolutions 6 and 13, we remain
committed to retaining a constructive and positive dialogue on this
issue. As such we will continue to actively engage to understand
all shareholder views.
The Board is committed to ensuring
Pearson has an executive remuneration structure that allows us to
be competitive in the global talent market and ensures strong
alignment between pay and performance. We also remain very
supportive of the Chair of our Remuneration Committee and are
grateful for the extensive work the Committee has done to engage
shareholders on our wider remuneration policy.
