¹ Any proxy arrangement which gave discretion to the Chair has been included in the 'For' totals.
² A 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the total votes cast or the calculation of the percentage of votes 'For' or 'Against' each resolution.
The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting, which is available on the Company's website, www.homereituk.com.
On the record date for voting at the meeting, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 790,570,465 ordinary shares of £0.01 nominal value each, carrying one vote each. The Company holds no shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company was 790,570,465.
The Board of the Company notes that although the resolution to receive the Company's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024 was passed, there were a material number of votes cast against and it also notes that shareholder advisory consultants recommended that shareholders vote against the resolution. This was also the position at the Company's AGM held on 20 February 2025. Having met regularly with shareholders over the last 12 months and considering correspondence received from shareholders on this matter, the Company believes it has adequately established the reasons behind the result. This can be summarised as shareholder frustrations regarding the delays in publishing the information, the qualified nature and emphasis of matter in the independent auditor's report and a reflection of the broader issues that the Company has experienced.
The report qualification was associated with revenues with tenants at properties recently taken back from non-performing tenants and as a result of incomplete paperwork handed over from tenants. The emphasis of matter was to highlight that the Company has entered a managed wind-down and therefore the Directors no longer consider the Group a going concern. The Board will continue to consider shareholder perspectives as appropriate.
