At the date of the above meeting, the Company's issued ordinary share capital comprised 267,949,768 ordinary shares and this is the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in the Company.
The Board has noted the votes cast against resolutions 12 and 14 which have both been passed by shareholders. The Board has discussed the issue and continues to believe that the Company having the ability to issue shares with the flexibility requested is in the best interests of shareholders as a whole, owing to increased liquidity and greater dispersion of fixed costs.
The presentation given by the Investment Manager after the AGM will shortly be made available on the Company's website www.bbhealthcaretrust.com
