Notes:

 

1.         As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 34,120,950 ordinary shares in issue. The Company held 45,000 shares in treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 34,075,950. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and subject to the Listing Rules, on a poll every member who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.

2.         The scrutineer of the poll was Computershare Investor Services PLC, the Company's Share Registrar.

3.         Note that a "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and such votes have not been included in the calculation of votes "for" and "against" each resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total above.

 

In accordance with UK Listing Rule 22.2.6, copies of the resolutions which passed as special business at the AGM will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

 

A copy of this announcement has been posted on the Company's website www.georgiacapital.ge

 

Following the announcement of 24 February 2026, Georgia Capital PLC notes that shareholders approved a general authority to repurchase shares and consequently, the Company confirms that share buybacks will be carried out pursuant to the authorisation granted at the 2026 AGM until the end of the programme on 23 November 2026. The shares will be purchased in the open market and the cancellation of the treasury shares will be executed on a monthly basis. The purpose of the buyback is to reduce the share capital. Under the buyback programme, the maximum price paid per share will not exceed the latest reported NAV per share amount.

 

In accordance with the authority granted by the shareholders at the 2026 annual general meeting ("AGM"), the maximum number of shares that may be repurchased is 5,142,169. The programme is conducted within certain pre-set parameters, and in accordance with the general authority to repurchase shares granted at the 2026 AGM and the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014/EU and of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (as they form part of UK domestic law).

 

 

 

 

The Company has appointed Numis Securities Limited ("Deutsche Numis") to manage a non‐discretionary share buyback programme until the end of the programme. During closed periods the Company and its directors have no power to invoke any changes to the programme and it is being executed at the sole discretion of Deutsche Numis.

 

The Company will make further announcements in due course following the completion of any share repurchases.
