London Stock Exchange Group plc (the Exchange) announces that at its AGM today all the resolutions proposed were duly passed by shareholders other than resolutions 11 and 12.
These are standard annual resolutions adopted by UK listed companies, enabling the allotment of shares on a general and non pre-emptive basis on share for share issues.
Late yesterday, Nasdaq expressed its view to the Exchange that the authority it sought through resolutions 11 and 12 is out of line with Nasdaq's own governance standards and that it intended to vote against the resolutions for this reason. Both resolutions are entirely in line with UK corporate governance guidelines.
The absence of this authority at the AGM does not impact the Exchange's growth strategy in any way.
