Total Voting Rights
Following the issue of the Scrip Dividend Shares, the Company's
total issued share capital will consist of 159,096,324 ordinary
shares of 25 pence each with one voting right per share.
As the Company does not hold any shares in treasury, the total
number of voting rights in the Company is also 159,096,324 and this
figure of ordinary shares may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if
they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Notes
*A vote withheld is not treated as a vote in law and is not
counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes cast for
or against a resolution.
Resolutions 1 to 10 were ordinary resolutions, requiring a
simple majority of votes cast to pass, while resolutions 11 to 13
were special resolutions, requiring at least 75% support to
pass.
The total number of Volex shares in issue at 6.00 p.m. on 17
August 2022, being those eligible to be voted on at the AGM, was
158,718,709.
The full text of each of the resolutions is set out in the
Notice of AGM, which is available on the Volex website (
www.volex.com ) on the "Shareholder Information" page in the
Investor Relations section.
