The Companies (Directors’ Remuneration Policy and Directors’ Remuneration Report) Regulations 2019
These Regulations implement in part Directive (EU) 2017/828 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 amending Directive 2007/36/EC as regards the encouragement of long-term shareholder engagement (OJ L 132, 20.5.2017, p. 1) (“the Directive”). The Directive amends Directive 2007/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on the exercise of certain rights of shareholders in listed companies (OJ L 184, 14.7.2007, p. 17) (“the Original Directive”). These Regulations contain the implementation of article 9a (right to vote on a company’s remuneration policy) and article 9b (information to be provided in and right to vote on the remuneration report), which are inserted into the Original Directive. The Original Directive applies to a company whose shares carry voting rights and are admitted to trading on a regulated market within the EEA. In the UK, the definition of “traded company” in section 360C of the Companies Act 2006 (c. 46) (“the Act”) covers this type of company.
