* Special resolution.
For the purposes of section 341 of the Companies Act 2006, the
votes validly cast are expressed in the table above as a percentage
of the Company's total voting rights as at the close of business on
24 January 2023 (212,768,122), being the time at which a
shareholder had to be registered in the register of members in
order to vote at the annual general meeting. A vote "withheld" is
not a vote in law and has not been counted as a vote "for" or
"against" a resolution.
The number of ordinary shares in issue at the date of this
announcement is 216,389,910. On a poll the voting rights are one
vote for every one share held. The number of voting rights is
therefore 212,768,122 (3,621,788 shares being held in
Treasury).
The poll results will shortly be available on the Company's
website at: www.hendersoneuropeanfocus.com .
The special business resolutions will be submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism ("NSM") and will shortly be available
for inspection at:
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
