The Board of Victoria PLC, (LSE: VCP), the international designers, manufacturers and distributors of innovative floor coverings, is pleased to announce that at the Annual General Meeting held this morning all the Resolutions were duly passed.
It is expected that the New Shares, following the five-for-one Share Split, will be admitted to trading on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on Monday 12 September. Immediately following the Share Split becoming effective, there will be 90,967,905 New Shares allotted, called up and fully paid in issue, all with voting rights. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury.
As of 12 September, the figure of 90,967,905 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Furthermore, the Directors will be interested in Victoria's issued share capital as follows:
Name | Position | No. of Ordinary Shares | Percentage of Share Capital |

1 Geoff Wilding and his family are discretionary beneficiaries of The Camden Trust which in turn owns Camden Holdings Limited. Camden Holdings Limited is the owner of the above shareholding of 30,438,650 Ordinary Shares and as a result Mr. Wilding is the beneficial owner of this shareholding.
2 Michael Scott also holds 5,000 B Ordinary Shares in an intermediate holding company under a long term management incentive plan, which are convertible into Ordinary Shares of Victoria as set out in the announcement of 3 May 2016.
