CIVITAS SOCIAL HOUSING PLC
(the "Company")
Result of Annual General Meeting
The Company is pleased to announce that at the Annual General
Meeting ("AGM") held yesterday, all resolutions except for
Resolution 13 were passed on a poll.
The Board notes that votes representing 27.11% of total votes
cast were received against Resolution 13, the non-market standard,
additional 10% pre-emption resolution, following the recommendation
of Pensions and Investment Research Consultants Limited ("PIRC"), a
proxy adviser. The UK Corporate Governance Code notes that where a
significant proportion of votes have been cast against a resolution
at a general meeting, a company should explain what actions it has
taken to understand the reasons behind the vote. The Company, via
their corporate brokers, intend to speak to the largest
shareholders who voted against this resolution and whom they
understand followed PIRC's recommendation to vote against this
resolution.
As was noted in the AGM notice, the Directors are aware that the
combined authority to dis-apply pre-emption rights in respect of up
to 20% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital sought under
Resolutions 12 and 13 is higher than the 10% typically sought by
investment companies, although other listed REITs have this year
received such additional authority from their shareholders. The
authority now granted under Resolution 12 still permits the Company
in aggregate, to issue up to 10% of the number of Ordinary Shares
in issue at the AGM at a premium to NAV. The Directors respect the
wishes of certain shareholders not to increase this threshold at
the present time.
Resolutions 1 to 11 were proposed as Ordinary Resolutions.
Resolutions 12 to 15 were proposed as Special Resolutions.
The results of the poll in relation to each resolution were as
follows:
