RELX Board recommends election of June Felix as director
Global provider of information-based analytics and decision tools for professional and business customers RELX PLC (LON:REL) announces that the 2021 Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday, 22 April 2021. Resolution 7 is to elect June Felix as a director of the company.
In October 2020, June Felix was appointed as a non-executive director of RELX. Ms Felix is the Chief Executive Officer of IG Group Holdings plc. She has more than 30 years’ experience in senior executive management positions in the US and UK and is a valuable addition to the RELX Board, which recommends her election as a director.
Ms Felix will retire from office at the AGM (being the first AGM following her appointment), and intends to stand for election by shareholders for the first time. The Nominations Committee, having conducted a robust independence assessment prior to Ms Felix’s appointments, considers her to be independent in character and judgement, and that there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect her independence or judgement. Accordingly, the Board recommends the election of Ms Felix as a director of RELX.
As FX News Group has reported, during her first couple of months at RELX, June Felix earned £21,724. Given her recent appointment, it is not surprising that she got no benefits last year.
The latest official data we have about June Felix’s pay at IG comes from the company’s report for the fiscal year to end-May 2020. The report shows that the base salary of Ms Felix for FY2020 was £600,000, compared with £377,000 in the prior year. The benefits for FY2020 totalled £124,000.
Let’s note that June Felix was a Non-Executive Director of IGG until her appointment as CEO on October 30, 2018. During FY19 she received £23,000 in relation to her role as Non-Executive Director.
