A.G. Barr is pleased to announce that at the A.G.

Full details of the proxy votes lodged for each of the resolutions are available on A.G. Barr's website at www.agbarr.co.uk.

A copy of each of the resolutions passed at the meeting has been submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will be available for inspection via the National Storage Mechanism website at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
