Base Resources Limited
Results of 2023 Annual General Meeting

 

Base Resources Limited (ASX & AIM: BSE) (Base Resources or the Company) advises that the results of the resolutions put to Base Resources shareholders at today’s meeting are set out in the table below.

 

All resolutions put to the meeting were decided by poll and were carried, other than items 1 and 5 which were not carried. 

 

Items 1 and 5 both concerned remuneration-related matters, with item 1 seeking adoption of the Company’s remuneration report for the 2023 financial year.  As 25% or more of the votes cast on item 1 were against the resolution, this constitutes a ‘first strike’ for the purposes of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

 

The Board will seek to further engage with shareholders to understand their rationale for voting against these remuneration related items.  In the event that their voting decisions were driven by concerns with Base Resources’ remuneration policy and practices, the Board will take these matters into account as part of its consideration of the Company’s future remuneration policy and practices.
