* ISC = Issued Share Capital of the Company

The Board is disappointed to note that whilst the resolution to approve the directors' remuneration report was passed with a substantial majority, there were a significant number of votes opposing the resolution. We will engage with shareholders and representative bodies to discuss their concerns relating to our remuneration report as part of the consultation leading up to the normal three-year review of Chemring's directors' remuneration policy. The new policy will be put to shareholders for approval at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

A copy of the ordinary and special resolutions passed at the meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM

Notes:

(i) Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the resolutions and their shares have been included in the "votes for" column.

(ii) A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a resolution.

(iii) Resolutions 1 to 14 were passed as ordinary resolutions. Resolutions 15 to 18 were passed as special resolutions.
