The number of shares in issue at the date of the Meeting was 522,049,521 ordinary shares of US$0.02 each in the Company (the “Shares”) and each Share attracted one vote. Votes 'For' included votes at the discretion of the Chairman.  All valid proxy votes and voting instructions (whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form) were included in the poll taken at the meeting.  The total number of votes cast was 290,135,178 (55.58% of the share register). 

 

The full text of each resolution is contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, which is available on the Company's website, www.petrofac.com.  A copy of the poll results for the AGM will also be available on the Company’s website. 

The Board notes that there were a significant proportion (more than 20%) of votes cast against four resolutions (resolutions 12, 14, 15 and 16).   Two of these resolutions (numbers 15 and 16) were special resolutions to empower the directors to disapply pre-emption rights.  Both of these resolutions followed the provisions of the Pre-Emption Group’s 2022 Statement of Principles for the disapplication of pre-emption rights and the Board considers the flexibility of afforded by these authorities to be in the best interests of the Company.  Jersey registered companies require a two-thirds majority for special resolutions to be passed.  Accordingly, all resolutions submitted to the AGM received sufficient support to be passed. 

In accordance with provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the "Code"), the Board confirms that it will consult and engage with those shareholders who voted against these resolutions to endeavour to understand their specific concerns.  In accordance with the Code, an update will be provided within six months of the AGM, with a final summary included in the Company's 2023 annual report and accounts.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, a copy of Resolutions 14 to 17 (as set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting), will be submitted today to the Financial Conduct Authority's national storage mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
