Notes:

 

1.

All resolutions were passed.

 

2.

Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the AGM have been included in the "For" total for the appropriate resolution.

 

3.

Votes "For" and "Against" any resolution are expressed as a percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution.

 

4.

A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against" any resolution, nor in the calculation of the proportion of "ISC voted" for any resolution.

 

5.

The number of shares in issue at close of business on 24 July 2024 was 167,379,790 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 167,379,790.

 

6.

The proportion of "ISC voted" for any resolution is the total of votes validly cast for that resolution (i.e. the total votes "For" and "Against" that resolution) expressed as a percentage of the Issued Share Capital.

 

7.

The full text of the resolutions passed at the AGM can be found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting which is available on the Company's website at

https://montanaro.co.uk/trust/montanaro-uk-smaller-companies-investment-trust/.
