ordinary resolutions regulatory
"All resolutions were passed as ordinary resolutions."
An ordinary resolution is a decision put to a company’s shareholders that is approved by a simple majority of votes cast, similar to a club decision passed when more than half the members agree. It covers routine matters such as electing directors, approving annual accounts or declaring dividends, and matters approved this way bind the company. Investors care because ordinary resolutions determine everyday governance and can change leadership, financial distributions, or policies with only majority support.
issued share capital financial
"The Company's issued share capital consists of"
Issued share capital is the total value or number of a company's shares that have been created and given to investors, employees or others; think of it as the slices of a cake that have already been cut and distributed. It matters to investors because it determines ownership percentages, potential voting power and how future share sales can dilute existing holdings, affecting share value and control.
Vote withheld regulatory
"A “Vote withheld” is not a vote in law"
scrutineer technical
"acted as scrutineer of the poll on all resolutions"

* In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, Kristo Käärmann’s voting rights have been capped to one vote below 50% of the total votes eligible to be cast in respect of any shareholder resolution. Accordingly, when calculating the total exercisable voting rights for the 2026 AGM, the Company’s percentage of issued share capital voted has been reduced proportionately as explained below.

 

The Company's issued share capital consists of (a) 1,020,742,294 Class A Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.01 each ("Class A Shares"), and (b) 197,838,749 Class B Ordinary Shares with par value of $0.000000001 each (“Class B Shares”). The Company holds at this time 4,422,268 Class A Shares in Treasury which do not carry voting rights. The total number of voting rights attributable to the Class A Shares is 1,020,742,294 and the total number of voting rights attributable to the Class B Shares is 1,780,548,741. Therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company in aggregate across the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares is 2,801,291,035.

 

After accounting for the total number of Class B Share voting rights that will be restricted as a result of the above mentioned cap, the total exercisable voting rights in the Company in aggregate across the Class A Shares and Class B Shares is 2,316,423,151.

 

** A “Vote withheld” is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes ‘For’ or ‘Against’ a resolution.

 

Notes:

 

Computershare, the Company’s Share Registrar, acted as scrutineer of the poll on all resolutions.
