Result of Requisitioned General Meeting

Empresaria Group plc (AIM: EMR), the international specialist staffing group, announces that at the requisitioned general meeting held at 2.00 pm on 15 October 2025 (the "Requisitioned General Meeting") all of the resolutions proposed were duly passed on a poll by the requisite majorities. Details of the votes cast on each resolution at the General Meeting are set out in the table below.

Notes:

A vote 'withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution. Every shareholder has one vote for every ordinary share held.

At the close of business on 13 October 2025 (the time at which shareholders who wanted to attend, speak and vote at the meeting were required to have their details entered into the registrar of members), the issued share capital of the Company consisted of 49,853,001 ordinary shares. The Company held no ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 13 October 2025 was 49,853,001. Votes cast as a percentage of the issued share capital was approximately 85.14%.

Board changes

Following the passing of the resolutions proposed at the Requisitioned General Meeting, Stephen Bellamy, Ranjit de Sousa, Rhona Driggs and Penelope Freer have ceased to act as directors of the Company and Joost Kreulen, Vinod Tailor, Arun Shankardass and Eckhard Köhn have been appointed as non-executive director of Empresaria (the "New Directors"), with Joost Kreulen acting as Chair.

Rhona Driggs' employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company has been terminated with immediate effect.

As a result, Singer Capital Markets Advisory LLP ceased to act as the Company's Nominated Adviser and joint broker with effect from the passing of the first resolution at the Requisitioned General Meeting.
