Ascential plc ("Ascenso") is pleased to announce the results of voting on the resolutions at its general meeting held at 1:00 p.m. (U.K. time) today (the "Reunión general").
On 4 April 2024, Ascential published a shareholder circular (including the notice of the General Meeting) (the "Circular"), announcing the details of the proposed return of value of £850 million to shareholders through:
● a tender offer to acquire up to £300 million of Ascential's shares (the "Oferta pública");
● a special dividend of at least £450 million (the "Dividendo especial"); y
● on-market share buyback programmes to acquire £100 million of Ascential's shares.
The General Meeting was held to invite shareholders to consider the resolutions in connection with the Tender Offer and a consolidation and division of Ascential's issued share capital to accompany the Special Dividend (the "Consolidación de acciones"), as described in the Circular.
Ascential is pleased to announce that both the special resolution to approve the Tender Offer and the ordinary resolution to approve the Share Consolidation were duly passed by the requisite majority of Ascential's shareholders. The results of the votes are shown in the table below and will also be available on Ascential's website.
