Result of AGM

GKN plc announces that all resolutions were passed on a poll at its Annual General Meeting held earlier today.

The total number of votes received for each resolution is set out in the voting schedule below. Each shareholder present in person or by proxy was entitled to one vote per share held. Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the percentage of votes for or against a resolution. The percentages shown below are rounded to 2 decimal places.

Resolutions 19, 20, 21 and 22 were passed as special resolutions; all other resolutions were passed as ordinary resolutions.

As at 2 May 2017, being the voting record date, GKN had 1,717,311,053 ordinary shares of 10p each in issue, excluding 8,792,577 shares held in Treasury.
