Countrywide plc ("the Company") announces that its Annual
General Meeting ("AGM") held at Vintners Place, 68 Upper Thames
Street, London EC4V 3BJ on 30 April 2019 at 10.00am was
successfully concluded. All resolutions were duly passed by
shareholders by way of a poll. The voting results are below and the
voting represents 88.84% of the issued share capital of
1,638,050,452 shares.
As required by Listing Rule 9.6.3R, a copy of resolution 19, not
being ordinary business, has been submitted to the National Storage
Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at
www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
The poll results will also be posted on the Company's
website.
A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.
Resolutions 15, 16, 18 and 19 were special resolutions and the
full text of all of the resolutions is set out in the Notice of AGM
on the Company's website.
The Company notes that more than 20% of the votes cast on
resolution 6 ("Re-election of Caleb Kramer as a director") were
against that resolution. In accordance with the UK Corporate
Governance Code, the Company will consult with shareholders to
understand the reasons behind the result on that resolution and
will in due course provide an update on the views received from
shareholders.
