Plus500 has released the voting results from its Annual General Meeting 2025 (AGM) held earlier today, with shareholders overwhelmingly rejecting the company’s Directors’ Remuneration Report for the second consecutive year.

Out of all the proposed resolutions, only one—Resolution 11, an advisory vote on the Remuneration Report—failed to pass. A narrow majority of 51.36% (equivalent to 23,220,100 votes) was against the resolution, reflecting ongoing shareholder dissatisfaction with executive pay practices at the firm.

The Board acknowledged the rejection and noted that two resolutions—Resolutions 3 and 11—received more than 20% opposition, a threshold that typically prompts additional shareholder engagement.

In a statement following the vote, Plus500 said:

“The Board of Plus500 notes that 20% or more of votes cast were cast against the Board’s recommendation for resolutions 3 and 11, the latter of which is an advisory vote. So,tThe Board has noted the outcome of these votes, and it takes such matters seriously. The Board will continue to engage with shareholders and shareholder advisory bodies to ensure their feedback continues to inform the Company’s approach to governance and remuneration, while taking into account the specific needs and profile of the Company.”

This marks the second consecutive year that Plus500’s remuneration policies have come under scrutiny. At the 2024 AGM, 66% of shareholders voted against the same resolution, indicating persistent concerns over executive compensation structures.

Despite the setback, all other AGM resolutions passed with the required majorities. The Board’s commitment to ongoing dialogue with investors suggests that remuneration reform may be a priority in the coming months.

Plus500 is going to release further details on its shareholder engagement strategy and any potential revisions to its pay practices ahead of next year’s meeting.
