Plus500 share buyback plans safe approval at EGM

On-line buying and selling firm Plus500 Ltd (LON:PLUS) has introduced the outcomes of the decision proposed at at this time’s Extraordinary Normal Assembly (EGM).

The decision proposed was voted on by the use of a ballot and handed by the requisite majority. Almost 81% of the votes have been forged in favor of the proposal, whereas 19% have been in opposition to the proposal.

  • This authority shall expire on the conclusion of the Annual Normal Assembly of the Firm to be held in 2024 or, if earlier, on the shut of enterprise on 5 August 2024, until such authority is renewed previous to this time; and
