Ordinary shares of 10p each.

 

In accordance with Listing Rules 9.6.2 R, copies of the resolutions passed at
the AGM have been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority's National
Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism

The documents can also be obtained via the Company's website www.mcbride.co.uk
(http://www.mcbride.co.uk)

 

The Board would like to thank shareholders for their engagement and support
ahead of the AGM and throughout the year. While the majority of the
resolutions were passed with majorities in excess of 99%, the Board notes that
Resolution 13 (Directors' Authority to Allot Shares) passed with a majority of
less than 80% (receiving votes in favour of 50.37%).

 

The voting outcome was primarily the result of two shareholders, each with a
significant holding, voting against this resolution. The views of all
shareholders are important to the Board.  The Board will continue its ongoing
dialogue with these shareholders and consult as appropriate to fully
understand their concerns in relation to this resolution.

 

However, the Board notes that the level of allotment authority continues to be
supported by the majority of our shareholders and is in line with the
Investment Association's share capital management guidelines applicable to UK
listed companies.

 

In accordance with provision 4 of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code, the
Board will provide an update on these engagements within six months of the
AGM.
