Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously announced, Gates Industrial Corporation plc (“Gates” or the “Company”) is proposing to change the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation from England and Wales to Bermuda (the “Redomiciliation”). The Redomiciliation requires shareholder approval, which was obtained on June 25, 2026, as described in further detail below. In addition, under the laws of England and Wales, the Redomiciliation remains subject to certain conditions including the sanction (i.e., approval) at a hearing of the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (the “Court”), as described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated May 27, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”). Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Proxy Statement.

On June 25, 2026, Gates held two shareholder meetings: (i) a meeting (the “Court Meeting”) convened by the Court; and (ii) a related general meeting of Gates Shareholders (the “General Meeting” and, together with the Court Meeting, the “Meetings”). At the Meetings, Gates Shareholders approved, among other matters, the scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) to effect the Company’s Redomiciliation which will result in the issuance of common shares (the “New Gates Shares”) of Gates Industrial Corporation Ltd. (“New Gates”) to existing Gates Shareholders on a one-for-one basis.

The Scheme, the Redomiciliation, the proposed issuance of New Gates Shares and the proposals voted on at the Meetings are described in more detail in the Proxy Statement. Specific details regarding the results of the Meetings are set forth below.
