Alan Lewis, Chairman of Safestore, commented:
"We appreciate that our remuneration proposals, which were designed to break away from more traditional policies have divided opinion.
Following extensive consultation, we proposed a five-year Long-Term Incentive Scheme covering a significantly larger group of individuals at and below board level. Since the March AGM we undertook a further round of consultation and made material amendments to the original proposals, including a 20% reduction in the maximum number of director options available. We have however remained true to our beliefs and retained the three central principles of the scheme; below market rates for base pay, payment for outstanding performance only and a five-year time horizon which is aligned with our business model and strategy.
As we now move forward with the new policies in place we will maintain engagement with all stakeholders to allay any concerns and most importantly work tirelessly to continue to deliver exceptional value for all of our shareholders."
