Gladstone plc
('Gladstone' or 'the Company')
Results of the General Meeting
At the General Meeting of Gladstone held today at 2.30 pm, the resolution that Mark Leonard be appointed as a Director of the Company, was rejected by Gladstone shareholders. The Board of Gladstone hopes that the unsolicited approaches and initiatives by Constellation Software Inc. will now cease. Shareholders have twice voiced their rejection of Constellation's moves and their support of the current Board. The Board expects Constellation to respect this statement by its fellow shareholders and work constructively with the Company as a major shareholder. The Board of Gladstone looks forward to delivering the growth plans and shareholder value they believe is inherent in the business.
