Result of Annual General Meeting
Share consolidation
Adoption of a revised investing policy
The Board of Caledonian (AIM: CHP), the AIM-quoted investing company focused on financial services and financial technology opportunities, is pleased to announce that all resolutions proposed at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held earlier today were duly passed.
Share Consolidation
As a result of resolution 14 being passed at today's AGM, the proposed consolidation of every 1000 ordinary shares of 0.001p per share into one new ordinary share of 1p per share will now take effect from close of business today (the "Share Consolidation"). As part of the Share Consolidation the Company has issued 12 additional shares to ensure the total issued share capital of the Company is divisible by 1000. Upon implementation of the Share Consolidation, shareholders on the register of members of the Company at the Record Date, 6.00 p.m. on 11 May 2026, will exchange every 1000 Existing Ordinary Shares for 1 New Ordinary Share. Further details on the Share Consolidation are set out in the notice of AGM dated 17 April 2026.
Application for Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application has been made for the 130,053,511 New Ordinary Shares in issue following the Share Consolidation becoming effective to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 12 May 2026.
Following Admission, the Company will have 130,053,511 Ordinary Shares in issue, each with one voting right. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights will be 130,053,511. This figure may be used by shareholders from Admission as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Adoption of a revised investing policy
Following the passing of resolution 13, the Company has now adopted its revised investing policy as set out in the announcement released on 20 April 2026 and the Company's notice of AGM. This revised investing policy will be made available shortly on the Company's website (https://caledonianholdingsplc.com/about/investment-policy/).
