Norwich City can confirm that each of the resolutions proposed at the extraordinary general meeting held at Carrow Road on Wednesday evening were passed by the relevant shareholders.
The club will now proceed with allotting 2,465,165 newly created D Preference Shares and 56,023,908 newly created E Preference Shares to Norfolk Holdings, the group led by Mark Attanasio.
From 1 March 2025, the D Preference Shares can be converted on a one-for-one basis into Ordinary Shares in the club, which would result in Norfolk Holdings’ ordinary shareholding increasing to 2,792,874 Ordinary Shares (approximately 85% of the club’s ordinary share capital).
Richard Ressler’s appointment as a director of the club was also approved at the meeting.
The approval of the resolutions means that Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones will now step down from the club’s board of directors and take up the position of honorary life presidents of the club.
This brings to an end an incredible 28-year spell as directors of the football club.
The club’s existing board would like to place on record its sincere thanks and gratitude to Delia and Michael for their contributions to the club during their time as directors.
Going forward, the club’s board will be made up of Mark Attanasio, Richard Ressler, Tom Smith and Zoe Webber, with Norfolk Holdings also having the right to appoint an additional director to the board in due course.
