*A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" and "Against" | |||||||
The Ordinary Resolutions 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 were carried as their vote exceeded the required threshold of 50% of proxies cast, voting in favour. The Special Resolutions, 6, 7 and 8 were not carried as they did not reach the minimum threshold of 75% of proxies cast, voting in favour.
Shareholders should note that Special Resolutions 7 & 8 on the Notice of AGM were matters for which approval was sought to enable the Company to update the Company's Articles & Memorandum of Association with the Companies Registration Office in Ireland following a reduction in par value of the Company's shares and an increase in the authorised capital of the Company previously approved at a Company's EGM held on 2 June 2023 last ("EGM"). The failure to carry these two resolutions means that the Company's Memo & Articles of Association cannot be updated at the Companies Registration Office to reflect the reduction in par value and the increase in the authorised capital approved at the EGM and which remain unaffected by the voting results today.
