RESULT OF GENERAL MEETING
A General Meeting of De La Rue plc ("De La Rue" or the
"Company") was held at 2:00pm today, 2 December 2022, at De La Rue
House, Jays Close, Viables, Basingstoke, Hampshire (the "General
Meeting") .
The Company is pleased to announce that the only resolution put
to the General Meeting, which was to approve Kevin Loosemore
continuing as a Director of the Company and as Chairman of the
Board, was duly passed by the Company's shareholders on a poll
vote. The full text of the resolution is contained in the Notice of
General Meeting published on 3 November 2022, which is available on
the Company's website at www.delarue.com.
The General Meeting was called in response to a request in
October 2022 from an investor in the Company, Crystal Amber Fund
Limited ("Crystal Amber"), for the Chairman of the Board, Kevin
Loosemore, to resign. Excluding the votes cast by Crystal Amber,
94.9% of the votes cast were in favour of Mr Loosemore continuing
to serve as a Director of the Company and as Chairman of the
Board.
The Board is pleased that the resolution was passed at today's
General Meeting and welcomes the overwhelming support of the
Company's shareholders for the resolution proposed. The full
results of the poll vote on the resolution, on which Computershare
(the Company's registrar) acted as scrutineer, are as follows:

of whether the resolution was carried. Percentages have been
rounded to one decimal place.

of the meeting were voted in favour of the resolution and have been
included in the 'For' totals.
3. As at 6:00 p.m. on 30 November 2022 (being the record time
for the General Meeting), the issued share capital of the Company
consisted of 195,435,840 ordinary shares of 44(152) /(175) pence
each, carrying one vote each and 111,673,300 deferred shares with a
nominal value of 1 penny which do not carry any voting rights. The
total number of shares over which voting rights in the Company are
