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 follows:
