Notes:
1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the 'for' total.
2. A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.
3. Total voting rights of shares in issue: 848,359,508. Every shareholder has one vote for every ordinary share held.
As announced on 26 February 2020, Gerry Murphy and Andrew Strang stepped down from the Board at the conclusion of the Annual
General Meeting.
The Board notes that there was a significant vote against resolutions 7 and 12 and the advisory vote in respect of resolution 13 at
the Annual General Meeting. Given 2019 was a year of transition, positioning Capco as a strongly capitalised prime central London
focused REIT, the Board is disappointed but understands these results. The Remuneration Committee will continue to engage with
shareholders to ensure views are fully understood. The Company will publish an update on shareholder engagement within six
months of the Annual General Meeting.
In accordance with paragraph 9.6.2 of the Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions passed at the meeting, other than resolutions
concerning ordinary business, have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection
