Weir Group - AGM 30 April 2019

Item 3: Approve the Remuneration Report

The structure is unacceptable as pay is not sufficiently oriented toward the long-term.  Furthermore, while moderate in size, the LTI does not have performance conditions and, therefore, clearly does not serve to align pay with performance.  Even the plan's underpin is applied only at the discretion of the remuneration committee. The quantum is moderate.  However, given the concerns over the structure of remuneration, we recommend shareholders oppose.
