*Special Resolution

 

 

In accordance with the provisions of the City Code, each member of the Founder Concert Party (being John Lofton Holt, Rajeevan Mahadevan, Tony Pialis, and Jonathan Rogers), is considered to be interested in the outcome of Resolution 16 (the Rule 9 Waiver Resolution) and Resolution 17 (the LTIP Waiver Resolution). Accordingly, each of them has not voted on these resolutions. The two Resolutions have therefore been approved by a majority of the votes cast by the independent shareholders of the Company.  

 

Since the 2023 AGM the Company has engaged with shareholders regarding Resolution 16 - The Rule 9 Waiver and is delighted that the resolution passed with 66.42% of participating independent shareholders voting in favour. However as 33.58% of participating independent shareholders voted against Resolution 16, the Board will continue to engage as appropriate with those shareholders who did not support the Resolution in order to understand the reasons for their vote against the proposal and to continue a transparent and constructive dialogue in this area.

 

The Board continues to consider that the ability for the Company to buy back shares is in the best interests of all shareholders, particularly in light of the current share price levels, which presents an opportunity to generate attractive returns for all shareholders through allocating capital to buying back ordinary shares.

 

 

NOTES:

 




1.

Votes "For" and "Against" any resolution are expressed as a percentage (rounded to two decimal places) of votes validly cast for that resolution.

 

2.

A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against" any resolution nor in the calculation of the total capital instructed.

 

3.

The number of shares in issue at close of business on 24 June 2024 was 735,613,437. There were no shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 735,613,437. Up to 78.73% of voting capital was instructed (excluding votes withheld).

4.

The full text of the resolutions passed at the AGM can be found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting which is available on the Company's website at https://www.awaveip.com/en/investors/

5.

The full text of resolutions 1-18 can be found in the 2024 Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Circular to Shareholders, which has previously been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and is available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
