Jeff Hewitt did not stand for re-election as a Director and stepped down from the Board with effect from the conclusion of the AGM.
Notes:
1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total.
2. The total number of shares in issue is 278,485,071 of which 7,271,174 shares are held as Treasury shares. Therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 271,213,897.
3. 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.
4. All percentages are shown to two decimal places.
This information will also shortly be available to view on the Company's website at: www.vesuvius.com.
As there were no resolutions passed at the AGM other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, no copies of resolutions have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism in accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2 .
