As at 3 September 2024, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 524,350,394 ordinary shares, carrying one vote per share, with no LDG shares held by the Company in treasury. In accordance with LDG's Articles of Association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every LDG share held.
In accordance with the terms of the Panel Waiver, only Independent Shareholders were entitled to vote on the Waiver Resolution. Therefore, any votes by members of the Concert Party in respect of the Waiver Resolution were not taken into account. Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against any resolution. Link Group was appointed as the scrutineer for vote-taking at the General Meeting.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular.
