RESULTS OF ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF
SHAREHOLDERS
The Company confirms that all of the resolutions proposed at the
Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders held on 13
September 2018 were approved. Proxies were validly received in
respect of 349,115,854 common shares, representing approximately
75.4% of the outstanding common shares in the Company.
The Company would like to highlight that following a year in
which shareholders saw their eOne shares appreciate in value over
51%, shareholders voted unequivocally to re-elect to the board
Darren Throop, eOne's Chief Executive Officer, with 99.95%
approval.
As noted in the 2018 Notice of Annual General and Special
Meeting, the Company has been undertaking an engagement programme
with a number of significant shareholders to seek their feedback.
As part of this programme, the Company contacted all shareholders
with a greater than 2% holding at the end of 2017 who voted at the
2017 Annual General Meeting, as well as new significant
shareholders with a greater than 2% holding who were not on the
share register at the time of the 2017 Annual General Meeting,
representing almost 60% of the Company's total shareholders.
This engagement programme was led by Mark Opzoomer in his
capacity as the Company's Senior Independent Director and
specifically targeted shareholders' stewardship teams, providing an
additional touchpoint to the Company's usual investment
contacts.
The programme is now completed and the Board is considering the
valuable feedback received from shareholders, together with the
additional feedback provided through the voting response at the
2018 Annual General and Special Meeting.
The results of the proxy voting on each resolution were as
follows:
