Results of Annual General Meeting
Darktrace announces the results of its annual general meeting
("AGM") held at the offices of Latham & Watkins, 99 Bishopsgate
Street, London EC2M 3XF on 7 December 2023 at 11.00 a.m. (GMT).
Voting on all of the resolutions was conducted on a poll. The
Board notes that all Resolutions were passed with the requisite
majorities, except for Resolution 12. Further, the Board notes that
in respect of resolutions 9 and 11, there was majority support but
less than 80% approval. The Board is committed to maintaining a
dialogue with shareholders and will seek to engage with those
shareholders who did not vote in favour of resolutions 9, 11 and 12
to understand their concerns. An update on the views received from
Shareholders and actions taken will be published within six months
of the date of today's AGM.
The Board also notes that in respect of Resolution 12, 56.67% of
votes were cast against the election of Patrick Jacob, the Invoke
shareholders' nominated Non-Executive Director, to the Darktrace
Board. As a result of this, Mr Jacob is no longer on the Board.
A copy of the resolutions passed at the AGM will be submitted to
the National Storage Mechanism in accordance with Listing Rules
9.6.2R and 9.6.3R, and will be available in due course for
inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
As of today's date, Darktrace has 700,248,943 ordinary shares in
issue (excluding any ordinary shares held in treasury). The results
of the poll, incorporating proxy votes duly lodged prior to the
meeting, are set out below and will also shortly be available on
Darktrace's website at www.darktrace.com .
