RESULTS OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
STV Group plc (the 'Company') announces that, at the Annual General Meeting held earlier today, all resolutions were duly passed by the Company's shareholders on a poll. The results of the poll are shown in the table below.
Votes 'For' and 'Against' are expressed as a percentage of the total votes received. A 'Vote withheld' is not treated as a vote in law and would not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes cast 'For' or 'Against' a resolution.
Resolutions 1 to 15 (inclusive) were proposed as Ordinary Resolutions and resolutions 16 and 17 as Special Resolutions. The current issued share capital of the Company consists of 46,722,499 ordinary shares of 50 pence, carrying one vote each.
The Board notes that more than 20% of shareholders voted against four of the other resolutions. All voting outcomes will be discussed through ongoing dialogue with shareholders.
In accordance with the Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of the resolutions that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
Copies of announcements are available on the Company's website www.stvplc.tv
