Result of AGM

Idox plc (AIM: IDOX), a leading supplier of software and services to the public and private sectors, announces that at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held earlier today, all resolutions were duly passed.

The Company also advises that a change to the wording of resolutions 8 and 10 (the "Resolutions") was put to the AGM. Due to a typographical error, the Resolutions made reference to the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2016, whereas this should have stated 2017. No objections were received to the amended wording, and as such, the Resolutions were passed. The amended wording is set out in full at the end of this announcement.

(a) the allotment of equity securities in connection with a rights issue or any other offer to holders of Ordinary Shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their respective holdings and to holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities or as the Directors otherwise consider necessary, but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal or practical problems in or under the laws of any territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange; and

(b) the allotment (otherwise than pursuant to sub paragraph (a) above) of equity securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of £178,189 being approximately 5 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company,
