RNS Number : 3137M ASA International Group PLC 19 December 2025
ASA International Group plc - 2025 Annual General Meeting Update Statement
ASA International Group plc (LSE: ASAI), one of the world's largest
international microfinance institutions, today provides an update statement on
the outcome of the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
The Board appreciates the support shown by the majority of shareholders for
all the resolutions at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 19 June 2025.
However, in relation to Resolution 18, just less than 80% approval was
received. Due to the votes against being greater than 20% and in line with
provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, ASA International has
undertaken a shareholder consultation exercise. This involved writing to the
largest independent shareholders explaining the purposes and rationale of the
Rule 9 waiver resolution.
The intention is that any direct engagement meetings following this outreach
will be held in the early part of 2026. The feedback from these meetings
alongside any written feedback will be reflected in the preparations ahead of
the next AGM to be held on 3 June 2026. A final summary of this consultation
process will be included in the 2025 Annual Report.
