LONDON - World Chess PLC (LSE:CHSS) announced Wednesday that all resolutions were duly passed at its Annual General Meeting held earlier in the day.

Shareholders overwhelmingly supported the company’s proposals, with most resolutions receiving 100% approval from voting shares. The approved measures included the adoption of the 2024 Annual Report and Accounts, the Directors’ Remuneration Report and Policy, and the re-appointment of all five directors.

The special resolutions authorized the directors to allot shares in connection with previously announced transactions, including 11.67 million ordinary shares related to a February 2024 share subscription agreement and 16.67 million ordinary shares linked to a convertible loan note announced on May 13, 2025.

Another approved special resolution empowers directors to allot equity securities up to approximately 35% of the company’s current issued share capital.

Moore Kingston Smith LLP was re-appointed as the company’s auditor, with directors authorized to determine their remuneration.

World Chess, which describes itself as a chess gaming and entertainment company, serves as the official commercial partner of the Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE). The company operates FIDE Online Arena and develops Armageddon, a chess league for television.

The voting results have been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority via the National Storage Mechanism, according to the company’s press release statement.
