essensys plc ($ESYS)

Good morning, and welcome to the essensys plc General Meeting proceedings. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to hand you over to CEO, James Lowery. Good morning to you.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It's now 10:00 a.m., the time set for the General Meeting of essensys plc. There is a quorum present. My name is James Lowery, and I am your Chairperson for this meeting. We're also joined today by Mark Furness, the Founder and Non-Executive Director of the company. I would like to thank you all for having made the effort to join us. With your agreement, we shall take the notice convening the meeting as read. I will now take all questions that shareholders may have on any item of business for the general meeting. I should be grateful if members would kindly give their names when asking questions. This meeting has been convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the resolution set out in detail in the company's circular issued by the company and dated 14th of May 2026. Ladies and gentlemen, the full text of the resolution is set out in the notice of meeting, a copy of which you have already received. As set out in the notice, shareholders have been encouraged to submit their proxy votes. I have been appointed proxy in respect of 80,258 shares. A poll will be conducted in respect of the resolution to enable each shareholder's votes to be counted even if they are not physically present. As it will take some time to complete the poll procedure, the final results of the voting, including the proxy votes on each of the resolutions will be announced through RNS and published on our website as soon as reasonably practical following the close of the meeting. I'm appointing Equiniti Limited, the company's registrars, to act as scrutineers. When you registered your attendance here today, you have been given a poll card, which the shareholder and proxies present at the meeting should complete and sign as indicated. In case of corporate shareholders, the poll card should be completed by their authorized representatives present at the meeting or by their proxy. If a voter is both a shareholder and a proxy for another shareholder or if you're attending as a proxy or representative of more than one shareholding, please use separate poll cards. On your poll cards, there are 3 options for the resolution. You can vote for the proposed resolution, against the proposed resolution or you may withhold your vote. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for or against the resolution. Will you please complete your poll card by ticking the appropriate box next to the resolution depending on how you wish to cast your vote. Once all votes have been taken on the resolution, please would you sign the poll card and hand it to the representative of Equiniti Limited, who will be sitting at the back of the room. Should you require further assistance, Equiniti Limited will be happy to assist you. The resolution is proposed as a special resolution and requires a majority of 75% to vote in favor of the resolution in order to be passed. The resolution in the notice is a special resolution. The items of business for today's meeting is subject to and conditional on the cancellation becoming effective to approve the reregistration of the company as a private company with the name essensys Group Limited and with effect from the reregistration to approve and adopt the draft new Articles of Association of the company in substitution for and to the exclusion of the existing Articles of Association. We hold proxies in respect of the resolution representing 80,001 votes for 257 votes against and 0 votes withheld. I will now put the resolution to vote. Please would you tick the appropriate box on the poll card. I will now close the vote. The poll is now closed. This concludes the business on the agenda, and I now declare this general meeting closed. The final results of the meeting will be announced through RNS and published on the company's website as soon as practical. Thank you for attending.

That's great. Mark, James, thank you for updating attendees today. On behalf of the Board, we would like to thank you for attending today's general meeting, and good morning to you all.
