SVG Capital : AGM Statement

28 March 2014

SVG Capital plc

Annual General Meeting Held on 28 March 2014

SVG Capital plc announces that, at the Annual General Meeting held earlier today, all resolutions, other than resolution 15, were duly passed. Resolution 15 was proposed as a special resolution, which required a 75% majority of the votes to be cast in favour and, following a poll (all other resolutions were passed on a show of hands), was defeated with 70.86% of votes cast voting in favour.  The resolution was a standard resolution to give the Directors the general power to dis-apply pre-emption rights on the issue of new shares for cash of up to 5% of the Company's issued share capital. Given the Company's commitment to focus on NAV growth through new investment and capital returns through share buy-backs and tender offers, the fact that this resolution was not carried will have no impact on the Company's strategy.

The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice of Meeting, copies of which are available for viewing at the National Storage Mechanism at www.morningstar.co.uk.  Details of the proxies voted are now on the Company's website at www.svgcapital.com.  As required by Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions passed at the meeting, other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, have been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority via the National Storage Mechanism and will be available shortly for viewing at www.morningstar.co.uk.
