Results of Annual General Meeting and Directorate Change

Urban&Civic plc (the "Company") announces that, at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 13 February 2019 ("AGM"), all resolutions were passed by the requisite majority. Each of the resolutions put to the AGM were voted on by way of a poll. The results of the poll for each resolution are shown in the table below.

As previously announced, Duncan Hunter did not seek re-election as a Non-Executive Director of the Board at the AGM and therefore steps down as a Director with immediate effect.
