In accordance with the Company's articles of association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held. There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM. Votes "for" include proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the AGM. Votes "withheld" are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.

Resolution 2 - Directors' remuneration report

 

The Board of Equiniti Group plc notes that, while all of the other resolutions at today's Annual General Meeting were passed with a strong majority, Resolution 2 (Approval of the Annual Report on Remuneration) passed with 70.04% of votes in favour.  

 

Following the Annual General Meeting and to ensure that shareholders have an opportunity to express their views on this matter, Equiniti Group plc will continue to engage with its shareholders on Directors' remuneration and will carefully consider all further feedback. We will publish an update on that engagement within six months of the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with principle 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code.

In accordance with UK Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of the special business resolutions passed at the meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and shortly be available for inspection at its website: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

The full text of the resolutions passed at the AGM can be found in the Notice of AGM which is available on the Company's website, in addition to a copy of this announcement detailing the AGM Results which will be available as soon as practicable, at: http://investors.equiniti.com/investors
