UK Government Investments (UKGI), which manages the government’s shareholding in NatWest Group plc (NWG), has lodged votes in favour of Resolutions 1 – 6 and Resolution 8 at the company’s General Meeting on 25 August 2022. In line with appropriate and previous practice, UKGI did not register a vote on Resolution 7 (amending the authority for NWG to buyback shares from HM Treasury). UKGI also lodged a vote in favour of the Resolution at the Class Meeting of Ordinary Shareholders held on the same day. These votes were lodged in line with the Financial Reporting Council’s UK Stewardship Code, the government Shareholding Memorandum of Understanding between HM Treasury and UKGI and the UKGI Framework Agreement with HM Treasury.
