Result of AGM
XLMedia (AIM: XLM), a leading provider of digital performance marketing services, announces the results of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Company held earlier today.  Prior to the AGM, the Company received a proposal to amend Resolution 7 set out in the notice of the AGM which concerned the authority to issue shares by reducing the amount of the authorization to allow the issuance of up to 26,258,641 Ordinary Shares being ten per cent (10%) of the issued and outstanding capital of the Company as of the AGM and not 87,528,714 Ordinary Shares (being approximately one-third of the issued and outstanding capital of the Company) as originally stipulated in the notice of the meeting.  This amendment was approved at the meeting and all the resolutions proposed at the AGM (including the amended Resolution 7) were duly passed.

Notes:
XLMedia is a global performance publisher. Operating globally across a variety of verticals including online gaming, personal finance and sports, the Group uses proprietary data and advanced targeting capabilities to build valuable connections with consumers through high-quality content - a value which can be passed onto XLMedia customers.
Group strategy is rooted in two fundamental corporate objectives to evolve the XLMedia business, speed transformational progress and drive global growth:
·    A balanced portfolio of online assets
o  Proactively managing the portfolio to ensure exposure to a diverse range of attractive territories and vertical markets, with different stages in their lifecycle/maturity. XLMedia seeks to achieve this through realigning the weighting of assets and moving towards more regulated markets (the US) and verticals (Sports), with more data-driven, conscious business model selection. In doing so, the Group seeks to promote sustainable revenue growth for the business and its customers, alongside data-driven intelligence to inform investment cases.
·    Branded, content-rich, engaging websites
o  Cultivating premium publishing brands with a shared belief in quality. XLMedia seeks to achieve this through focused consolidation of its portfolio and resources to concentrate only on those publishing assets which are optimised for its chosen markets. In doing so, the Group seeks to deliver content-rich, consumer centric sites which promote tangible user value while benefiting and extending the capabilities of our customers.
