More than 52 per cent of votes cast at Fortescue Metals Group’s annual meeting on Tuesday rejected the iron ore miner’s remuneration report. Fortescue could potentially face a board spill if more than 25 per cent of shareholders vote against the report again in 2024. Major proxy advisory firms had recommended voting against the report, citing concerns such as discretionary payments to several former executives. Meanwhile, Fortescue has announced plans to build a $US550m ‘green’ hydrogen plant in Arizona and a $US150m hydrogen plant at Gladstone in Queensland. It will also build a $US50m commercial ‘green’ iron plant at its Christmas Creek iron ore mine in the Pilbara.
