Bridgepoint Group plcResults of General Meeting
Bridgepoint Group plc ("Bridgepoint" or the "Company") announces the results of voting on the resolutions at its general meeting held at 12:00 p.m. today (the "General Meeting").
The General Meeting was convened to invite shareholders to consider resolutions in connection with the proposed acquisition by Bridgepoint of Energy Capital Partners Holdings, LP (the "Transaction"), as described in the announcement released on 6 September 2023 and the circular (including the Notice of General Meeting) published on 2 October 2023.
A poll was held on each of the resolutions and each was passed by the required majority. Resolution 1 and resolution 2 were passed as ordinary resolutions, and resolution 3 was passed as a special resolution. The results of the poll were as follows:

2 | The total voting rights of the Company as at 6:30 p.m. on 17 October 2023 (the time by which shareholders wanting to attend, speak and vote at the General Meeting were required to be entered on the register) was 799,334,377 ordinary shares of £0.00005 each. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury, and so the total voting rights in the Company were 799,334,377. Blue Owl Fund IV is not entitled to vote on resolution 1, therefore the percentage of votes cast for resolution 1 (being 77.49% of the issued share capital) reflects the votes of independent shareholders only. |
3 | A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not included in the calculation of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution. |
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, a copy of the resolutions have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection on their website at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
