Result of Extraordinary General Meeting

 

 

Forgent plc (AIM: FORG), the technology-led energy transition and natural resources platform,  is pleased to announce that at the Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM"), held earlier today, all resolutions put to the meeting were passed on a poll.

 

The results of the poll will be published on the Company's website at https://forgentplc.com/investors-media/share-information-news/.

 

The full text of the EGM resolutions is set out in the Company's Letter to Shareholders dated 20 April 2026. Resolution 1 was proposed as an ordinary resolution and resolution 2 was proposed as a special resolution.

 

As at 12 May 2026, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 8,459,876,454 ordinary shares, carrying one vote per share. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every Forgent share held.

 

Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against any resolution.

 

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the Company's announcement, on 14 April 2026, setting out details, inter alia, of arrangements entered into by the Company in connection with the  £1.3m Placing, the allotment of the Final Subscription Shares to the Secured Lenders, the partial exercise of the Company's Peak Hills option, to acquire a 51% interest in the Peak Hills gold-copper exploration project in Western Australia and issue of Creditor Shares ("the Proposals"). The Proposals, including the Placing, were conditional on the approval by shareholders of the Resolutions which have now been passed at the EGM.
