Result of Annual General Meeting

 

 

8 December 2020 Allergy Therapeutics plc (AIM:AGY), the fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical group specialising in allergy vaccines, announces that, with the exception of resolution 10, which failed to carry, all other resolutions proposed at the 2020 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") were duly passed by shareholders. Voting was conducted by way of a poll.  

 

Resolutions 1 to 9 (inclusive) were proposed as ordinary resolutions and resolution 10 was proposed as a special resolution. The results of the poll are outlined in the table below.

 

The Board acknowledges the failure to pass resolution 10 and is disappointed in this outcome. The Board considers the flexibility afforded by these authorities to be in the best interests of the Company and shareholders and notes that this resolution has received support at previous AGMs. However, the Board remains committed to continuing an open and transparent dialogue and will, accordingly, seek to continue to engage with shareholders regarding their views in this area.
