Result of Annual General Meeting
Abcam plc (AIM: ABC), a global leader in the supply of life science research tools, announces that all resolutions put to its Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") held today were passed.
The Board is pleased that the majority of resolutions received strong support from shareholders but notes that a minority of shareholders opposed Resolution 3 (To approve the Annual Report on Remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2018) in an advisory vote.
The Company engaged extensively with its largest institutional shareholders to discuss its remuneration proposals and received support from the overwhelming majority of those shareholders. The Company further notes that it received a high level of support for the approval of its new Remuneration Policy (Resolution 4).
The Board remains firmly committed to maintaining an open dialogue with shareholders to ensure it fully understands their views as the Company continues to compete in a global market place.
