Result of Extraordinary General Meeting
29 April 2011
FBD Holdings plc ("FBD") announces that the Ordinary Resolution
tabled at today's Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company
seeking approval in relation to potential future changes in the
percentage shareholdings of Farmer Business Developments plc and
other parties arising from any future share buybacks by FBD was not
passed, on a poll vote, by the Independent Shareholders.
The text of the Resolution was as follows:
Ordinary Resolution
"That having regard to the provisions of the Irish Takeover
Panel Act, 1997, Takeover Rules, 2007 as amended ('Takeover Rules')
and to the conditions attached by the Irish Takeover Panel to the
grant of a waiver under Rule 37 of the Takeover Rules as described
on page 7 of the Company's circular ('Circular') to shareholders
dated 28 March 2011, the increase in the percentage of the Voting
Shares of the Company held by Farmer Business Developments plc and
persons presumed under the Takeover Rules to be acting in concert
with it, of up to 33.63% in the circumstances described in the
Circular without Farmer Business Developments plc and/or any person
acting or deemed to be acting in concert with it being obliged to
make an offer to the Company's shareholders pursuant to Rule 37, be
and is hereby approved".
Result of Poll Vote on the Resolution
In favour 3,385,782 (42.2%), against 4,635,031 (57.8%).
Impact of Result
There is no immediate impact on the Company arising from today's
result. At the Annual General Meeting held just prior to the
Extraordinary General Meeting the Company's shareholders had by an
emphatic majority renewed the authority for the Company to buy back
up to 10% of its issued share capital - a normal authority sought
by Irish public companies, and one which is traditionally renewed
annually.
The Board has no immediate plans to exercise its authority to
buy back shares and in fact has not bought back the Company's
shares since November 2007.
The Board will formally consider the result of the poll vote at
its next scheduled meeting.
