Result of Annual General Meeting
Caledonia Investments plc (the "Company") held its annual
general meeting ("AGM") on Wednesday 19 July 2023 at 11.30 am. All
valid proxy votes (whether submitted electronically or in hard copy
form) were included in the poll taken at the meeting.
All resolutions were passed by shareholders. The full text of
each resolution considered at the AGM is contained in the circular
to shareholders incorporating the notice of the AGM, which is
available on the Company's website at www.caledonia.com.
Resolutions 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 relating to the election or
re-election of independent non-executive directors, were passed by
separate majorities of all shareholders and of those shareholders
who are independent of the Cayzer family concert party, the members
of which are regarded as controlling shareholders for the purposes
of the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules.
Resolution 19 relates to the waiver of the mandatory offer
provisions set out in Rule 9 of The City Code on Takeovers and
Mergers in relation to the Cayzer family concert party, given the
obligation that could arise on the concert party to make a general
offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company as a
result of purchases by the Company of ordinary shares pursuant to
the authority from shareholders to make market purchases.
Resolution 19 passed with a majority of votes cast by independent
shareholders in favour. The board will engage with shareholders who
voted against the resolution and provide an update to the market on
the views received and any actions the Company intends to take in
accordance with Provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance
Code.
The results of the poll for each resolution is set out
below.
