Results
of Annual General Meeting
The Directors of HICL Infrastructure PLC ("HICL" or the "Company"),
are pleased to announce the results of voting at
the annual general meeting of the Company held at 2:00 PM on
Wednesday, 17 July 2024 at Brewers Hall, Aldermanbury Square,
Barbican, London EC2V 7HR (the "AGM" or the "Meeting").
The notice of the AGM and proposed
agenda and resolutions were circulated to shareholders and
announced to the market on 4 June 2024.
Each of the resolutions proposed at
the AGM was duly passed. Voting was conducted by way of a poll on
each of the resolutions put to the Meeting. This is seen as best
practice as it gives all shareholders the opportunity to
participate in the decision-making of the Company and have their
votes recorded even if they are unable to attend the Meeting in
person. The Board notes that 10.03% voted against the Directors'
Remuneration Report and will therefore continue to consult with
relevant shareholders to better understand their views.
Total proxy votes of 261 were cast
at the AGM. The results of the voting are noted as
