AGM 2016 Poll Results

G4S plc, the parent company of the G4S global security group, announces that, at its AGM held on 26 May 2016, all the resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed.

This included resolutions: to allow the payment of political donations; to amend the company’s articles of association; to allow general meetings other than AGMs to be called on 14 days’ notice; and a general authority to make market purchases for up to 10% of its own shares.
