• Share Issuance Authorization

  The Board was authorized to issue shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of $70,739,136, equivalent to 20% of the company's issued share capital as of April 1, 2026. This provides significant headroom for future capital raises.

• Disapplication of Preemptive Rights

  Shareholders authorized the Board to issue equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash, disapplying preemptive rights, up to an aggregate nominal amount of $17,684,784. This allows for more flexible, potentially non-pro-rata, equity offerings.

• Director Elections

  All seven director nominees, including Andy Butcher and Patrick Mullen, were elected to serve for a one-year term expiring at the 2027 Annual General Meeting.

• Executive Compensation Approved

  Shareholders approved the Directors' Remuneration Report and, in a non-binding advisory vote, the compensation of Named Executive Officers for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Luxfer Holdings shareholders approved key proposals at the Annual General Meeting, most notably authorizing the Board to issue new shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of $70.7 million, which is equivalent to 20% of the company's issued share capital. This provides substantial flexibility for future capital raises or strategic transactions but also introduces significant potential dilution for existing shareholders if fully utilized. Additionally, the Board was authorized to disapply preemptive rights for a portion of these shares (up to $17.7 million nominal amount), streamlining future equity offerings but further reducing existing shareholders' ability to maintain their proportional ownership.
