· Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the AGM have been included in the "For" total for the appropriate resolution.

· A "Withheld" vote is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes cast "For" or "Against" a resolution.

·     The proportion of "Total % Instructed" is the total of votes instructed for that resolution (i.e. the total votes "For", "Against" and "Withheld" for that resolution) expressed as a percentage of the issued share capital.

· The issued share capital of the Company as at 10 May 2022 was 83,364,458 ordinary shares of 5p each. No shares are held in treasury.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, a copy of the resolutions passed will shortly be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available to view at  https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism . A copy will also be made available on the Company's website at https://www.greshamtech.com .

The Board notes that there was significant support for all of the resolutions, except for Resolution 3, which relates to the approval of the Directors' Remuneration Report, which was passed but received a vote of over 20% against the resolution. The Board welcomes shareholder views and feedback on all aspects of the Annual Report and Accounts, including the subject of remuneration. Based on the proxy votes lodged in advance, the Board has already conducted some preliminary consultations in this regard and, in accordance with the FRC Code of Corporate Governance, will be undertaking further consultation with major shareholders. An update of this engagement will be published within six months, and a final summary included in the Company's Annual Report for the 2022 Financial Year.
