LGIM holding: 2.9% of issued share capital

At Anglo American's AGM, LGIM voted against the remuneration report. The rationale for this instruction centred on the lack of discretion exercised by the Remuneration Committee to scale back Long Term Incentive Awards (LTIP) to Executive Directors at a low share price. These grants are made as a multiple of salary and have the effect of awarding a higher number of shares which could lead to windfall gains in the future. This is not in line with best practice and is stated in our voting policy.

At the AGM, approximately 42% of investors opposed this item. We will continue to engage with the company giving constructive feedback on their remuneration structure ahead of the binding policy vote next year.

LGIM also supported the 'Aiming for A' resolution on climate change at the general meeting. We welcome the Board's commitment and recommendation for investors to vote in favour of this item. LGIM continues to support the objectives of the coalition and believes that climate change risks are material for Anglo American.

ENDS.
