* Special Resolution
While all Resolutions were passed, most with significant majorities in favour, the Board notes Resolution 2, which concerns the advisory vote on the Company's 2025 Directors' Remuneration Report, received less than 80% of votes cast in favour. The Board has actively engaged with shareholders on remuneration in 2025 which has helped build a more detailed understanding of shareholder views and allowed the Board to provide context on the decisions made. While we welcome the backing of the majority of our shareholders following engagement on remuneration, we will continue to engage and an update will be published within six months of today's Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code.
NOTES:
1. All resolutions were passed
2. Votes "For" and "Against" are expressed as a percentage of votes received.
3. A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.
4. Total number of shares in issue at 6pm on 25 July 2025 = 54,264,648. 82.97% of voting capital was instructed.
In accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the resolutions passed by Cranswick pls shareholders, other than ordinary business have been submitted to the National Storage mechanism and are available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
