Results of AGM
Iofina plc, manufacturers of specialty chemical products and specialists in the exploration and production of iodine, held its 2023 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") earlier today.
All resolutions proposed at the AGM, with the exception of resolution 6 (a special resolution for the disapplication of pre-emption rights), as set out in the Notice of Meeting dated 9 May 2023, were duly passed. The Company recognises that a meaningful proportion of votes were cast against resolution 6. Although the resolution was in line with the Company's historic AGM share authorities (all of which have been previously passed), the Board takes seriously its responsibilities to maintain a healthy dialogue with shareholders and will engage with the relevant shareholders to better understand their views.
The full text of the resolutions considered at the AGM are contained in the Notice of AGM which is available on the Company's website at www.iofina.com.
