On 7 January 2019, ContourGlobal plc (the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, "ContourGlobal") announced that it had reached agreement with Alpek regarding the acquisition of Alpek's portfolio of two natural gas-fired combined heat and power plants (the "Acquisition"). At the general meeting of the Company held today, the resolutions put to the Company's shareholders to approve the Acquisition and the Additional Commitment Fee Arrangements in relation to the Acquisition were duly passed on a poll. The results showing the number of votes received for and against both resolutions are shown below.
Full details of the resolutions passed are set out in circular relating to the Acquisition (the "Circular") which is available on the Company's website at www.contourglobal.com.
Both resolutions were proposed as an ordinary resolution.

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, every member who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held. The scrutineer of the poll was Equiniti Limited, the Company's registrar.
