Shareholders of De La Rue Plc, the more than 200 year-old bank note and passport printer, narrowly passed its pay report in one of the biggest British investor protests this year.

About 48% of investors voted against the measure, the company said in a statement on Thursday. Just four other U.K. companies have had larger revolts on their remuneration reports this year, according to the Investment Association, the trade body for U.K. investment managers.
