Votes "for" include proxy appointments which gave discretion to
the Chairman of the AGM. A "vote withheld" is not a vote under
English law and is therefore not included in the calculation of
votes "for" and "against" a resolution.
As at 6.30 p.m. on 22 June 2022, being the time at which a
person had to be registered in the Company's register of members in
order to attend and vote at the AGM, the number of ordinary shares
of the Company in issue was 1,041,407,370 . In accordance with the
Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member present
in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions
passed as special business at the AGM will shortly be available for
inspection on the National Storage Mechanism at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
A copy of the voting results shown above will also be made
available on the Company's website at https://investors.avast.com/
