Catapult Sports Revises AGM Voting Results After Shareholder Voting Error
Highlights
Introduction
Catapult Sports Ltd (ASX: CAT) announced revised voting results for its 2026 Annual General Meeting on 2 October 2026, following the discovery of an error involving votes cast on a resolution concerning a previous share placement. The sports technology company reviewed the matter after being notified by an investment manager that certain shares held in its funds might have been incorrectly voted.After reviewing the matter, the company revised the voting figures by removing the affected votes and confirmed that the resolution had still secured the required majority for approval.
Voting Error Identified Following AGM
The issue relates to Resolution 4, which concerned the ratification of shares previously issued under a placement. Catapult held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 26 August 2026, with the initial voting outcomes published to the ASX that day. According to the 2 October announcement, the company was informed on 17 September 2026 that an investment manager might have incorrectly instructed its custodians to vote certain shares in favour of the resolution. The shares were held in funds whose beneficial owners had participated in Catapult’s October 2025 placement.
Under the applicable ASX Listing Rules, those shareholders were subject to a voting exclusion and should not have voted on the resolution. However, the investment manager’s instructions resulted in the affected votes being included in the original results. After receiving the notification, Catapult sought clarification from the investment manager to establish the number of shares involved and verify the voting instructions provided to custodians.
Revised Results Confirm Resolution Approval
Following its review, Catapult recalculated the voting results by removing the votes affected by the error. The updated report was attached to the company’s ASX announcement. Importantly, the correction did not alter the resolution’s outcome. Resolution 4 remained approved by the required majority, with the proportion of votes cast in favour staying at 99.88% when rounded to two decimal places.
The revised voting report recorded 201,164,029 votes in favour and 245,701 votes against the resolution. A further 18,185,804 votes were recorded as abstentions. These figures reflect the updated poll results following the exclusion of the affected votes.
What the Update Means for Investors
The announcement clarifies the voting process surrounding the previous placement and confirms that the identified error did not affect the final decision on Resolution 4. It also demonstrates the importance of accurate voting instructions and compliance with exchange listing requirements. The updated figures confirmed that the resolution’s approval remained unchanged despite the correction to the voting results. The announcement concerns corporate governance and AGM voting accuracy; it does not disclose a new operating or financial development for the business. The notice was authorised for release to the ASX by Catapult Group Company Secretary Jonathan Garland on 2 October 2026.
