Notes:

Any proxy appointments giving discretion to the Chairman of the Meeting have been included in the "For" total.

A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

The Company's total of ordinary shares in issue (total voting rights) as at 16:30 on 11 December 2023, being the time at which a person had to be registered in the Company's register of members in order to vote at the AGM, was

199,667,247 ordinary shares of GBP0.0005 each. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per ordinary share held.

Peter Kelly is regarded as a controlling shareholder of the Company for the purposes of the Listing Rules, and each resolution to re-elect independent non-executive directors (resolutions 8, 9, 10 and 11) have under Listing Rule 9.2.2E been approved by a majority of the votes cast by:

   i.    the shareholders of the Company as a whole; and 

ii. the independent shareholders of the Company, that is, all the shareholders entitled to vote on each resolution excluding the controlling shareholder.

In accordance with paragraph 9.6.2 of the Listing Rules, a copy of the resolutions passed at the AGM will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .

A copy of this announcement will be available on the Company's website at: https://www.softcat.com/investors/shareholder-information/ .
