Result of AGM

RWS Holdings plc ("RWS" or "the Company"), the world's leading provider of intellectual property support services (patent translations, international patent filing solutions and patent searches) and commercial translations, confirms that all resolutions proposed at today's Annual General Meeting were duly passed.

In particular, Resolution 7 to sub-divide each of its ordinary shares of 5 pence each into 5 ordinary shares of 1 pence was duly passed and the Company has applied for these new 1 pence ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, part of the London Stock Exchange. These shares are expected to be admitted at 8am on 11 February 2015.

The new ordinary shares have the ISIN code: GB00BVFCZV34.

For the avoidance of doubt, the final dividend of 18 pence is payable, on each (pre sub-division) ordinary share of 5 pence, to those shareholders whose names appeared on the register at the close of business on 30 January 2015. The dividend is expected to be paid on 27 February 2015.

Following the sub-division, the Company's share capital will consist of 211,579,840 ordinary shares of 1 pence each with voting rights. RWS holds no shares in Treasury. 

Therefore, with effect from 8am on 11 February 2015, the total number of voting rights in RWS will be 211,579,840 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, RWS under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The Company's Annual Report & Accounts for the year ending 30 September 2014, the Notice of AGM and full details of the proxy votes received from shareholders prior to the meeting will shortly be available on the Company's website, http://www.rws.com/EN/Company/Investors-menu.html.
