("Plus500", the "Company" or together with its subsidiaries the "Group")

Statement in relation to 2021 AGM results

Plus500, a global multi-asset fintech group operating technology-based trading platforms, today provides an update on the voting outcome at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held on 4 May 2021, in line with best practice governance and disclosure standards.

At the AGM, two of the resolutions which were passed had more than 20% of votes cast against them. These resolutions related to an advisory vote on the directors' remuneration report and a tax-related bonus payment regarding the Company obtaining a highly beneficial approval from the Israeli Tax Authority and the Israel Innovation Authority as a 'Preferred Technological Enterprise'.

The Board of directors of the Company (the "Board") engaged with various shareholder advisory bodies and a number of shareholders, taking into account their feedback and amending the terms of various resolutions accordingly. 

Furthermore, following this shareholder consultation, the Remuneration Committee excluded special, one-off bonuses in future Executive Remuneration plans in the Company's updated Remuneration Policy. A resolution for this updated Remuneration Policy was approved by over 94% of shareholders' votes cast at the AGM.

The Board always takes the outcome of shareholder votes seriously and, going forward, will continue to consider related shareholder feedback, with a view to implementing this feedback, as appropriate.
