Results of the AGM

 

The AGM of Gulf Marine Services PLC was held on Wednesday, 30 June 2021. In the context of the continued restrictions on public gatherings as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was therefore not possible for the AGM to be held in the same format as in previous years, as a result of which shareholders were strongly encouraged to submit a form of proxy in advance of this meeting rather than seeking to vote in person.

 

Accordingly, all the resolutions were put to shareholders on a poll. The results of the poll are shown in the table below and will shortly be available on the Company's website,   www.gmsplc.com.
