Results of Annual General Meeting

Mattioli Woods plc (AIM: MTW.L), the specialist wealth management and pensions consultancy business, announces that at the Group's Annual General Meeting held today all resolutions put to shareholders by the Board (which were contained in the Notice of Meeting dated 9 September 2013) were passed unanimously on a show of hands.  Resolutions 1 to 8 were ordinary resolutions and resolutions 9 to 11 were special resolutions. 

Speaking at the meeting, Bob Woods, Executive Chairman, said: "As I set out in our recent final results statement, the year ended 31 May 2013 represented another 12 months of profitable growth.  I am pleased to report further growth in revenues in the first quarter of this new financial year and current trading remains in line with the Board's expectations. 

"The RDR heralds a period of unprecedented change in our key markets, creating enormous opportunities.  Both our recent acquisitions, comprising the employee benefits and wealth management business of Atkinson Bolton Consulting Limited and pension administration business of Ashcourt Rowan plc, are bedding-in well. 

"Self-invested personal pensions are once again under the spotlight of the regulator after the FCA launched another thematic review into the sector earlier this week.  This latest review comes ahead of final rules that are expected to increase the capital resources requirement for SIPP operators, which I expect to be the catalyst for further consolidation within this sector. 

"We are continuing to review the legal and operational structure of the Group, with the aim of strengthening our brand around the Mattioli Woods name later next year.  We were pleased to recommend a 26.1% increase in total dividend for the year ended 31 May 2013 and look forward to delivering further strong shareholder returns going forward."
