CENTAMIN PLC ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF COURT MEETING AND GENERAL MEETING

On Sept. 10, 2024, the boards of Centamin PLC and AngloGold Ashanti PLC had agreed on the terms of a recommended acquisition of Centamin. The transaction is being implemented by way of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement between Centamin and the scheme shareholders under Article 125 of the Jersey Companies Law. All references to times in this announcement are to London times unless otherwise stated.

Centamin is pleased to announce the results of the court meeting and general meeting held today in connection with the transaction. The requisite quorum for each of the court meeting and the general meeting was present.

At the court meeting, as more particularly described below, the requisite majority in number of scheme shareholders who voted (either in person or by proxy) and who together represented more than 75 per cent of the voting rights of all Centamin shares voted in favour of the resolution to approve the scheme. The resolution was accordingly passed.

At the general meeting, as more particularly described below, the requisite majority of Centamin shareholders voted to pass the special resolution approving the transaction and the amendment of the Centamin articles.

Full details of the resolutions that were proposed are set out in the notices of the court meeting and general meeting contained in the scheme document.

The total number of Centamin shares in issue at the scheme voting record time was 1,161,082,695. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in Centamin on the scheme voting record time was 1,161,082,695.
