Kape Technologies plc
("Kape," the "Group" or the "Company")
Results of General Meeting
Total Voting Rights
Director/PDMR Dealings
Further to the Company's announcements of 13, 14 and 15 September 2022, Kape
(AIM: KAPE), the digital security and privacy software business, announces
that all resolutions proposed at the general meeting of the Company held
earlier today were duly passed.
Further to the passing of Resolution 1, application has been made for
71,762,618 new ordinary shares of US$0.0001 each, to be issued pursuant to the
placing and retail offer (the "Fundraising Shares"), to be admitted to trading
on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that admission
will take place and trading in the Fundraising Shares will occur on or around
5 October 2022 ("Admission").
The total number of votes received on each resolution were as follows:
Resolutions Votes For % of Votes Votes Against % of Votes Total Votes Votes cast as % of voting rights Votes Withheld
1 Authority to allot Fundraising Shares on a non pre-emptive basis 246,541,502 99.80 497,641 0.20 247,039,143 70.15 2,152
2 General authority to allot shares 246,846,355 99.92 192,788 0.08 247,039,143 70.24 2,152
3 General disapplication of pre-emption rights 246,944,587 99.96 96,503 0.04 247,041,090 70.26 205
Notes:
1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the
Chairman have been included in the "for" total.
2. The Company's issued share capital at the date of the
meeting was 359,512,186 ordinary shares. There are now 4,062,469 ordinary
shares held in treasury and 4,000,000 ordinary shares held by the Kape
Technologies Plc Employee Benefit Trust, the voting rights to which have been
waived. Therefore, the total number of voting rights at the date of the
meeting was 351,449,717. A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not
counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "for" and "against"
a resolution.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission of the Fundraising Shares, the total number of voting
rights in the Company will be 423,212,335, which is the figure which should be
used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change
to their interest in, ordinary shares under the FCA's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.
The Company holds 4,062,469 ordinary shares in treasury and the Kape
Technologies plc Employee Benefit Trust holds 4,000,000 ordinary shares, the
voting rights to which have been waived. Therefore, the Company's total issued
share capital following Admission will be 431,274,804 ordinary shares of
US$0.0001 each.
Unikmind Holdings Limited Shareholding
Following Admission of the Fundraising Shares, Unikmind Holdings Limited
("Unikmind"), a substantial shareholder in the Company, will hold 232,288,281
ordinary shares, equal to approximately 54.9% of the enlarged total voting
rights of the Company.
