A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against" any resolution.

 

Resolutions 1 to 6 together with Resolution 9 were put to the meeting and passed.

 

Resolution 7, an Ordinary Resolution granting the Directors power to allot shares, and which required 50 per cent. of the votes cast to be in favour in order to pass, has failed.  Resolution 8, a Special Resolution which provides the Directors under Resolution 7 to allot shares without pre-emptive rights, and which required 75 per cent. of the votes cast to be in favour in order to pass, has also failed. 

 

Nicholas Clayton, Non-Executive Chair of Trinity Exploration & Production plc, commented:

 

"This is the second consecutive year that shareholders have been unwilling to support Resolutions which deal with the Board's ability to raise new equity, and has been a contributing factor to the Company evaluating its strategic options which ultimately led to the Directors recommending the all share offer from Touchstone."
