Result of Annual General Meeting
At the Annual General Meeting of JD Wetherspoon plc held earlier today, 12 November 2015, all resolutions proposed at the meeting were duly passed on a show of hands.
A summary of the proxy votes registered prior to the AGM will be available shortly on the Company's website at www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/investors
In particular, special resolution 15 (Articles of Association) was approved at today's Annual General Meeting, though there was concern from some shareholders regarding the proposed change to the borrowing powers within the new Articles. JD Wetherspoon believes the proposed change to the Articles is appropriate for the Company and its shareholders. The Company intends to speak with its main institutional shareholders over the coming months and, if needed, may propose a revised resolution at the 2016 Annual General Meeting for consideration by the Company's shareholders.
A copy of the resolutions has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at: www.Hemscott.com/nsm.do
