RESULT OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Board of Triple Point VCT 2011 plc announces that at the Company's Annual General Meeting held today, with the exception of resolution 8 which failed to carry, all other resolutions were passed by shareholders. All resolutions were voted on by way of a poll.
The Board acknowledge that resolution 8 failed to carry due to an insufficient number of votes cast. The Company's articles of association required at least 25% of issued share capital to be voted to pass the resolution. Nevertheless, the Board note that, of the votes cast, over 98% of votes in respect of the resolution were in favour. The Board will now consider what actions, if any, should be taken in respect of the B Share Class assets, and provide shareholders with an update in due course.
Resolutions 1 to 8 (inclusive) were proposed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 9 to 11 (inclusive) were proposed as special resolutions. The results of the poll were as follows:
