Significant Votes Against:
The Board is pleased that all resolutions were duly passed but notes the proportion of votes cast against Resolutions 4 and 6, the re-election of Peter Dicks and the re-election of Ashe Windham respectively, by shareholders was over 20%. Although the votes against the Resolutions represents 8.1% of the total voting rights of the Company, the views of all the Company's shareholders are extremely important to the Board and it will engage with investors on both resolutions to better understand the reasons behind their dissent. An update will be published on that engagement within six months.
The Board would like to remind shareholders that, as reported in the Company’s annual report, Mr Dicks will be standing down as a Director on 31 December 2024.
Notes:
- Votes “For” and “Against” are expressed as a percentage of votes received.
- A vote “Withheld” is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares shown as voted “For” or “Against”.
- Total number of shares in issue at 6.00pm on 20 September 2024 was 76,923,603.
- A copy of the full text of Resolutions 11 to 13 will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at:

- These proxy results together with a shareholder presentation will be available shortly on Company’s website at https://www.mitonukmicrocaptrust.com.
