14 Curzon Street, London W1J 5HN, United Kingdom Wednesday, 22 July 2020 at 16:30 (BST)
Your attention is drawn to the letter from the Chair of the Company, which is set out on pages 1–3 of this document. This letter explains the format of the annual general meeting of the Company this year and recommends you to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the annual general meeting.
The notice of the annual general meeting of the Company, to be held at 16:30 (BST) on Wednesday, 22 July 2020 at 14 Curzon Street, London W1J 5HN, United Kingdom, is included in this document.

Shareholders should note that, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current United Kingdom government restrictions on travel and indoor public gatherings, shareholder attendance at the Company's annual general meeting will not be possible this year. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to appoint the chair of the annual general meeting as their proxy, electronically or via the hard copy form of proxy enclosed with this document for use in connection with the annual general meeting. To be valid, the form of proxy should be submitted electronically or completed, signed and returned in hard copy in accordance with the instructions set out on pages 24–27, as soon as possible and, in any event, by no later than 16:30 (BST) on Monday, 20 July 2020. Further instructions relating to the form of proxy are set out in the notice of the annual general meeting.
If you are in any doubt as to any aspect of the proposals referred to in this document or as to the action you should take, you should seek advice from your stockbroker, solicitor/attorney, accountant, central securities depository participant, banker or other independent professional advisor immediately.
If you have sold or otherwise transferred all of your shares, please pass this document, together with the relevant accompanying documents, to the purchaser or transferee, or to the person who arranged the sale or transfer, so they can pass these documents to the person who now holds the shares.

I am writing to you with details of the annual general meeting (the 'Meeting') of Mediclinic International plc (the 'Company' or 'Mediclinic') to be held at 14 Curzon Street, London W1J 5HN, United Kingdom on Wednesday, 22 July 2020 at 16:30 (BST).
The Company continues to monitor developments relating to the outbreak of COVID-19, including the related public health guidance and legislation issued by the UK Government. At the time of publication of this formal notice convening the Meeting (the 'Notice'), the UK Government has imposed restrictions on travel and indoor public gatherings.
In light of these measures, and as our priority is the health, safety and wellbeing of all our stakeholders, the Meeting will be run as a closed meeting and shareholders will not be able to attend in person. The Company will make arrangements such that the legal requirements to hold the Meeting can be satisfied through the attendance of a minimum number of employee shareholders, and the format of the Meeting will be purely functional.
The Board of Directors (the 'Board' or the 'Directors') recognises the importance of the Meeting to shareholders and is keen to ensure that you are able to exercise your right to participate in the Meeting by voting. Details on how to submit your proxy vote by post, online or through CREST are set out on pages 24–27 of this Notice. Given the current restrictions on attendance, the Board strongly encourages you to vote on all resolutions by appointing the chair of the Meeting as your proxy rather than appointing a named person who will not be permitted to attend the Meeting, resulting in your votes not being cast.
Registered shareholders may submit their questions to the Directors in advance of the Meeting by sending an email to the Company Secretary at [email protected] and the Company will answer these in due course.
This is an evolving situation, and the UK Government may change current restrictions or implement further measures relating to the holding of general meetings during the period affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Any changes to the Meeting will be communicated to shareholders before the Meeting through our website at https://ir.mediclinic.com/shareholder-centre/shareholder-meetings and, where appropriate, through an announcement to the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges.
The Notice is set out on pages 4–11 of this document and includes the resolutions to be proposed at the Meeting and the corresponding explanatory notes.
This year, in line with the normal three-year cycle, we are presenting for approval a new Directors' Remuneration Policy, which can be found on pages 197–209 of the 2020 Annual Report. The Remuneration Committee was grateful for the time and constructive feedback that shareholders and the proxy advisory bodies provided since the Company's 2019 annual general meeting and has reflected carefully on this as well as recent developments in the UK remuneration environment. The Committee reviewed the current Remuneration Policy and its implementation in the light of this information, explored a range of alternative approaches and received independent specialist advice. The new Directors' Remuneration Policy is based on an approach that supports the execution of the Company's long-term strategy in a way that is consistent with its culture and values; appropriately aligns executives' remuneration with the interests of shareholders; and complies with the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code.
Resolution 22 asks for shareholder approval to alter the Company's Articles of Association to, among other things, allow (but not require) the Company to hold 'hybrid' general meetings which shareholders can choose to attend and participate in, in person or via electronic means. The new provision is in line with best practice and does not permit the holding of 'virtual only' general meetings. As set out in more detail in the explanatory note, other changes include granting the Company greater control and flexibility in relation to postponing general meetings and the treatment of untraced shareholders. The amended Articles are available for inspection as set out on page 27 of the Notice.
As announced on 17 April 2020, as part of the Group's broad response to maintaining its liquidity position through the crisis and to maximise its support in tackling COVID-19, the Board has taken the prudent and appropriate decision to suspend the dividend. The Board recognises the importance of its dividend to shareholders and will keep this position under review.
Lastly, as announced at the Company's 2019 annual general meeting, I will be retiring from Mediclinic at the conclusion of the Meeting and handing over to Dame Inga Beale, who was appointed as my designated successor on 26 March 2020. My other fellow Board members and I agree that she has a clear understanding of our strong culture and values and will also align readily with our business. Core to these matters are our stakeholder commitment to deliver sustainable high-quality healthcare services and our purpose to enhance the quality of life. Dame Inga will expertly lead the Board in pursuit of these objectives including addressing the challenge if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread globally.
Further information relating to the Company, its directors and its financial information can be found in the Company's annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020, which was circulated at the same time as this Notice and is also available on our Company website at https://investor.mediclinic.com/results-centre/results-and-reports. The Company's website contains a variety of other information including previous annual reports, investor presentations, share price data and the Group's corporate governance practices.
As previously indicated, shareholders will not be able to attend the Meeting. The Board therefore encourages you to appoint the chair of the Meeting as your proxy rather than a named person who will not be permitted to attend the meeting. A form of proxy is enclosed for use by shareholders so that they can nominate the chair of the Meeting as proxy to vote on their behalf, either in the manner they direct or at the chair's discretion. Please complete and return the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions on the form in order that it may be received by the Company's registrar, Computershare, as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 16:30 on Monday 20 July 2020.
All resolutions for consideration at the Meeting will be voted on by way of a poll, rather than a show of hands. This means that shareholders will have one vote for each ordinary share held. The Company believes this will result in a more accurate reflection of the views of shareholders by ensuring that every vote is recognised, including the votes of all shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting but who have appointed a proxy for the Meeting.
Please carefully read the provisions included in the shareholder notes set out on pages 24–27 regarding the actions required by shareholders. If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, please consult your stockbroker, solicitor/attorney, accountant, central securities depository participant ('CSDP'), banker or other independent professional advisor immediately.
The Board believes that resolutions 1–22 contained in the Notice are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of all the proposed resolutions, as they intend to do the same in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings.
Yours faithfully
Dr Edwin Hertzog Non-executive Chair
Notice is hereby given that the 2020 annual general meeting (the 'Meeting') of Mediclinic International plc ('Mediclinic' or the 'Company') will be held at 14 Curzon Street, London W1J 5HN, United Kingdom on Wednesday, 22 July 2020 at 16:30 (BST).
You will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, pass the resolutions below. Resolutions 1–18 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. For an ordinary resolution to be passed, a simple majority of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution. Resolutions 19–22 will be proposed as special resolutions. For a special resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.
Under the United Kingdom ('UK') Companies Act 2006 (the 'Act'), the Directors are required to present the annual accounts and reports at the Meeting. These are contained in the Company's 2020 annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 (the '2020 Annual Report'), available on the Company's website at https://investor.mediclinic.com/results-centre/results-and-reports.
This resolution deals with the remuneration paid to the directors during the year under review. Shareholders are invited to vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report, which appears on pages 194–200 of the 2020 Annual Report (excluding the Directors' Remuneration Policy). In accordance with the Act, resolution 2 is an advisory vote only and the directors' entitlement to receive remuneration is not conditional thereon. The resolution and vote are a means of providing shareholder feedback to the Board of Directors (the 'Board').
The Act requires quoted companies to present to their shareholders a Directors' Remuneration Policy for approval at least every three years. The current Directors' Remuneration Policy was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 25 July 2017. The Company's Remuneration Committee has considered the feedback received from shareholders since the Company's 2019 annual general meeting and proposed a revised policy which is set out on pages 197–209 of the 2020 Annual Report.
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, any director appointed as such by the Board shall retire at the following annual general meeting and shall be eligible for election. Dame Inga and Mr Singer were appointed by the Board on 26 March 2020 and 24 July 2019 respectively, and will retire and seek election by the shareholders at the Meeting.
In accordance with the provisions of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code, all members of the Board wishing to continue their appointments must seek re-election by the shareholders. All of the current directors of the Company, with the exception of Dr Edwin Hertzog, are retiring and seek re-election at the Meeting.
The biographical details of all the directors seeking election or re-election at the Meeting are set out on pages 13–23 of this Notice and the Board recommends their election or re-election as appropriate.
The Board considers Dr Al Hashimi, Dame Inga, Mr Grieve, Dr Harvey, Dr Oswald, Mr Petersen and Mr Singer to be independent non-executive directors in accordance with provision 10 of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code. None of the independent non-executive directors seeking election or re-election at the Meeting has any existing or previous relationship, transaction or arrangement with the Company, nor with any controlling shareholder of the Company or any associate of a controlling shareholder of the Company, within the meaning of rule 13.8.17R(1) of the Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK ('Listing Rules'). Mr Grieve and Mr Petersen were independent directors of Mediclinic International Ltd prior to the reverse acquisition of Al Noor Hospitals Group plc in February 2016 and were appointed as independent directors of the Company upon completion of the transaction. Subsequent appointments of independent directors have followed a structured and balanced process, with the Nomination Committee reviewing a list of suitable candidates identified through independent search consultants or other sources, followed by rigorous interviews with a panel which included the SID and other independent directors. In considering the independence of the non-executive directors, the Board has taken into account guidance from the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code and the conduct, independence of thought and judgement exhibited by the independent directors during Board and Committee meetings.
Subject to her election at the Meeting, Dame Inga will assume the role of Chair of the Company upon conclusion of the Meeting.
Remgro Ltd ('Remgro'), through wholly owned subsidiaries, holds 44.56% of the issued ordinary shares of the Company and is therefore regarded as a controlling shareholder of the Company, for the purposes of the Listing Rules. The Listing Rules require that independent non-executive directors of a company with a controlling shareholder must be elected by a majority of votes cast by independent shareholders, in addition to a majority of votes cast by all shareholders in the company. The resolutions for the election or re-election of the independent non-executive directors (resolutions 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 14) of the Company will therefore be taken on a poll and the votes cast by (i) independent shareholders; and (ii) all shareholders, will be calculated separately. Such resolutions will be passed only if a majority of votes cast by independent shareholders are in favour, in addition to a majority of votes cast by all shareholders being in favour. Mr Durand is a representative of the Company's controlling shareholder, Remgro, and is therefore not considered to be independent as contemplated by provision 10 of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code.
Mr Meintjes does not meet the criteria to be considered an independent non-executive director due to his position as former Group CEO of the Company until 2018. The Board considered his proposed re-election as a non-executive director and, after careful deliberation, concluded that his re-election is in the best interests of the Group, its shareholders and other stakeholders, taking into account the overall composition of the Board and the knowledge and experience of the industry and the business that Mr Meintjes has gained over 30 years in different capacities across the business.
Mr Pieter Uys was appointed as an alternate director to Mr Durand on 7 April 2016. Mr Uys will continue that appointment beyond the Meeting without seeking election by shareholders. If the resolution to re-elect Mr Durand is not passed by shareholders at the Meeting, the alternate directorship of Mr Uys will cease immediately.
At each general meeting at which the Company's annual accounts and reports are presented to its members, the Company is required to appoint an auditor to serve until the next such meeting. The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, recommends the reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the auditor of the Company.
The remuneration of the Company's auditor must be fixed by the Company in a general meeting or in such manner as the Company may determine in a general meeting. Resolution 16 gives authority to the Audit and Risk Committee to determine the remuneration of the Company's auditor.
(as such terms are defined in the Act), up to an aggregate amount of £100 000, and the amount authorised under each of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above shall also be limited to such amount, during the period beginning on the date of the passing of this resolution and ending at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, to be held in 2021, or 30 September 2021, whichever is earlier, provided that the authorised sums referred to above may comprise one or more amounts in different currencies which, for the purposes of calculating the said sum, shall be converted into sterling at the exchange rate published in the London edition of the Financial Times on the date on which the relevant donation is made or expenditure incurred (or the first business day thereafter) or, if earlier, on the day on which the Company or its subsidiary (as appropriate) enters into any contract or undertaking in relation to the same or at such other rate as the Directors of the Company may in their absolute discretion determine to be appropriate. Upon the passing of this resolution, all existing authorisations and approvals relating to political donations or expenditure under Part 14 of the Act shall be revoked without prejudice to any donation made, or expenditure incurred, prior to the passing of this resolution pursuant to such authorisation or approval. For the purpose of this resolution, the terms 'political donation', 'political parties', 'independent election candidates', 'political organisation' and 'political expenditure' shall have the meanings given by Sections 363 to 365 of the Act.
This resolution seeks to authorise the Group to make political donations and incur political expenditure, as contemplated in the Act. Political donations are generally prohibited in terms of the Company's Ethics Code and Anti-bribery Policy, unless pre-approved by the executive committee of the division and reported to the Group Executive Committee. It is not the policy of the Company to make political donations as contemplated in the Act and, during the year, the Group made no such payments. However, as a result of broad definitions used in the Act, normal business activities of the Company, which might not be considered political donations or expenditure in the usual sense, may possibly be construed as political expenditure or as a donation to a political party or other political organisation and fall within the restrictions of the Act. This could include sponsorships, subscriptions, payment of expenses, paid leave for employees fulfilling public duties and support for bodies representing the business community in policy review or reform. The Board has therefore decided to propose this resolution 17.
As permitted under the Act, this resolution also covers any political donations made or political expenditure incurred by any subsidiaries of the Company. This resolution 17 caps the amount of all forms of political donations and expenditure that the Company and its subsidiaries would be permitted to make at an aggregate of £100 000.
As disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report, as customary in Switzerland, Hirslanden maintains a proper and constructive dialogue with political decision-makers and stakeholders to represent the division's perspective and support informed decision-making that contributes to improving patient outcomes and the long-term sustainability of the business. Under the Swiss political system, citizens are active in political bodies at federal, cantonal and municipal levels in addition to their regular occupations. Parliamentarians are not professional politicians in this system and the parties do not receive state support. Therefore, in line with common and official practice in Switzerland, Hirslanden assists in supporting the country's political system by making third-party contributions to a number of political parties, institutions and associations involved in campaigns which are of interest to the business. Payments of this kind made by Hirslanden during the financial year ended 31 March 2020 totalled CHF63 225 (2019: CHF4 500). The increase from the previous year results from numerous national and cantonal renewal elections that took place during the year. For the avoidance of doubt, these contributions are not considered political payments as contemplated in Part 14 of the Act, as they are not made to the political parties within the scope of the Act.
(a) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £24 329 045.70 (representing 243 290 457 ordinary
shares) (such amount to be reduced by any allotments or grants made under paragraph [b] below in excess of such sum); and
and so that, in both cases, the Board may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which it considers necessary, expedient or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter,
provided that this authority shall expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, to be held in 2021, or 30 September 2021, whichever is earlier, save that the Company may, before such expiry, make an offer or enter into an agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted, or rights to subscribe for or to convert securities into shares to be granted, after such expiry; and the Board may allot shares or grant such rights in pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
The purpose of this resolution 18 is to give the Directors authority to allot shares in place of the existing authority approved at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 24 July 2019, which expires at the end of the Meeting.
The authority in paragraph (a) of the resolution will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares up to a nominal value of £24 329 045.70 (representing 243 290 457 ordinary shares), which is equivalent to approximately 33% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 1 June 2020, which is the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice.
The authority in paragraph (b) of the resolution will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares only in connection with a rights issue up to a nominal value of £48 658 091.40 (representing 486 580 914 ordinary shares), which is equivalent to approximately 66% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 1 June 2020, which is the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice (such amount to be reduced by the amount of any relevant securities issued under the authority conferred by paragraph [a] of this resolution 18).
The Company does not currently hold any shares in treasury.
The Board has no present intention of exercising these authorities. However, as a UK premium listed company, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to have these authorities so that the Board has the maximum flexibility permitted by corporate governance guidelines to respond to market developments and to allot securities at short notice and without the need to hold a general meeting if the need arises. The extent of the authority follows the UK's Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines.
The authorities sought in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this resolution 18 are without prejudice to previous allotments made under such existing authorities.
The authorities will only be valid until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2021, or 30 September 2021, whichever is earlier.
and so that the Board may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which it considers necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter; and
(b) in the case of the authority granted under paragraph (a) of resolution 18 and/or in the case of any sale of treasury shares, to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than under paragraph [a] above) up to a nominal amount of £3 686 219.05,
such power to apply until the end of the next annual general meeting to be held in 2021, or 30 September 2021, whichever is earlier, but, in each case, during this period the Company may make offers and enter into agreements, which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted (and treasury shares to be sold) after the power ends and the Board may allot equity securities (and sell treasury shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the power had not ended.
such power to apply until the end of the next annual general meeting to be held in 2021, or 30 September 2021, whichever is earlier, but, in each case, during this period the Company may make offers and enter into agreements, which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted (and treasury shares to be sold) after the power ends and the Board may allot equity securities (and sell treasury shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the power had not ended.
At the annual general meeting held on 24 July 2019, the Directors were given the authority to issue equity securities of the Company and sell treasury shares in exchange for cash until the 2020 annual general meeting.
Resolution 19 renews the Directors' power to allot equity securities and sell treasury shares in exchange for cash without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings. Equity securities include ordinary shares in the Company. Resolution 19 allows the Directors to issue equity securities and to sell treasury shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis: (i) to ordinary shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings and to holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities, or as the Directors consider necessary, and to deal with, among other things, treasury shares, fractional entitlements and legal and practical problems in any territory, for example, in the case of a rights issue or other similar share issue; and (ii) otherwise, up to an aggregate nominal amount of £3 686 219.05 (representing 36 862 190 ordinary shares). This number represents approximately 5% of the issued share capital as at 1 June 2020, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice.
On 12 March 2015, the Pre-Emption Group, an association of companies and investors that produces best practice guidance on disapplying pre-emption rights in the UK market, issued a revised Statement of Principles. This stated that, in addition to the previous standard annual disapplication of pre-emption rights up to a maximum equal to 5% of issued ordinary share capital, the Pre-Emption Group is now supportive of extending the general disapplication authority for certain purposes.
On 5 May 2016, the Pre-Emption Group published a monitoring report on the implementation of its 2015 Statement of Principles for Disapplying Pre-emption Rights and a recommended template resolution for disapplying pre-emption rights. The template recommends companies request authority to disapply pre-emption rights in respect of the additional 5% to be used when the Board considers the use to be for an acquisition or specified capital investment in accordance with the 2015 Statement of Principles as a separate resolution to the disapplication to issue shares on an unrestricted basis.
Resolution 20 seeks this separate authority. Where the authority granted under resolution 20 is used, the Company will disclose this in the announcement regarding the issue, the circumstances that have led to its use and the consultation process undertaken.
In accordance with the section of the Statement of Principles regarding cumulative usage of authorities within a rolling three-year period, the Directors also confirm their intention that (except in relation to an issue pursuant to resolution 20 in respect of the additional 5% referred to above) no more than 7.5% of the issued ordinary share capital will be issued for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis during any rolling three-year period, without prior consultation with shareholders.
The Directors have no present intention of exercising these powers but believe that this resolution will assist them to respond to market developments and to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.
These authorities are without prejudice to allotments made under previous authorities and will only be valid until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting to be held in 2021, or 30 September 2021, whichever is earlier.
Under the Act, the notice period required for all general meetings of listed companies is 21 days, however, it is possible to reduce this period to 14 days (other than for annual general meetings), provided that the following two conditions are met: (i) that a company offers facilities for shareholders to submit proxy appointments by electronic means; and (ii) that there is an annual resolution of shareholders approving the reduction in the minimum notice period from 21 days to 14 days.
This resolution would, if passed, allow the Company flexibility to call general meetings, other than annual general meetings, on no less than 14 clear days' notice. This additional flexibility would only be used in limited and time-sensitive circumstances, where the Board considers relying on the authority to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole. The approval will be effective until the Company's next annual general meeting, at which meeting it is intended to propose a similar resolution for approval.
It is proposed that the Company adopt new Articles of Association, the principal changes of which are set out in Appendix 1. Other changes which are of a minor, technical or clarifying nature have not been set out in Appendix 1. A copy of the new Articles (together with a copy of the existing Articles marked to show the changes being proposed in Resolution 22) is available for inspection as noted on page 27 of this document and on the Company's website at https://ir.mediclinic.com/shareholder-centre/shareholder-meetings.
The report by the Clinical Performance and Sustainability Committee (the 'Committee') included in the 2020 Annual Report, read with the 2020 Clinical Services Report and the 2020 Sustainable Development Report published on the Company's website at https://investor.mediclinic.com/ results-centre/results-and-reports, will serve as the Committee's feedback to the Company's shareholders on the matters within its mandate at the Meeting. Any specific questions to the Committee may be sent to the Company Secretary prior to the Meeting. Certain South African subsidiaries of the Company are required to appoint a social and ethics committee in terms of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended, (the 'SA Companies Act') unless such companies are subsidiaries of another company that has a social and ethics committee, and the social and ethics committee of that company will perform the functions required by this regulation on behalf of that subsidiary company. The Committee, in fulfilling its role to (a) promote a culture of excellence in patient safety, quality of care and patient experience by, inter alia, monitoring the clinical performance of the Group; and (b) ensuring that the Group is and remains a good and responsible corporate citizen by monitoring the sustainable development performance of the Group, also performs the statutory functions required of a social and ethics committee in terms of the SA Companies Act.
By order of the Board.

It is proposed in Resolution 22 to adopt new Articles in order to update the existing Articles, primarily to give the Company greater control and flexibility in relation to its treatment of untraced shareholders; postponing general meetings; and the use of combined physical and electronic general meetings (although the amendments will not permit 'virtual only' meetings).
The principal changes introduced in the Articles are summarised in this Appendix 1. Changes which are of a minor, technical or clarifying nature have not been noted in this Appendix 1. The new Articles, which have been marked to show all of the changes to the existing Articles, are available for inspection as noted on page 27 of this document, and are also available on the Company's website at: https://ir.mediclinic.com/shareholder-centre/shareholder-meetings.
The provisions relating to untraced shareholders are amended in the new Articles. Under the existing Articles, a shareholder may be considered an untraced shareholder if, during a period of 12 years, at least three cash dividends have become payable and no dividend has been cashed. Currently, in order to sell the shares of untraced shareholders, the Company is required to place notices in national and local newspapers, and is required to account to the former member or other person previously entitled for an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale (after payment of the costs of the sale).
The existing provisions are seen as imposing unduly onerous obligations on the Company, inefficient in locating untraced shareholders and lacking flexibility with respect to the sale proceeds of the shares.
The new Articles replace the newspaper notice requirement with a requirement to send a notice to the last known or registered address of the shareholder, and to use such efforts as it considers reasonable to trace the shareholder. The Company must still allow for three months following such notice to allow shareholders to come forward before selling the shares.
The new Articles also provide that, if no valid claim for the money has been received by the Company during a period of six years from the date on which the shares were sold, the sale proceeds will be forfeited to the Company and that it may use the proceeds as the Directors see fit.
The new Articles permit the Directors to move or postpone a general meeting or change the electronic facility if the Directors consider that it is impracticable or undesirable to hold a general meeting as originally planned. There is a requirement, if practicable, for an announcement of the date, time and place of the rearranged meeting to be published in at least two national newspapers in the United Kingdom, but notice of the business of the meeting does not need to be given again. The purpose of this amendment is to afford the Company greater flexibility to change arrangements, something which has been shown to be particularly useful in the current environment due to the impact of COVID-19.
The new Articles allow the Company to hold combined physical and electronic general meetings as well as physical-only general meetings. In line with recommendations made by the Investment Association, the amendment does not permit the Company to hold 'virtual-only' general meetings, but provides the Company with flexibility to hold an electronic general meeting in parallel with the physical general meeting.
Following the internal Board evaluation process concluded in March 2020 and a recommendation from the Nomination Committee, the Board is satisfied that each of the Directors continues to be effective, demonstrates a commitment to the role, and continues to be able to dedicate sufficient time to their duties. The Directors believe that the Board continues to include an appropriate balance of skills and provides effective leadership for the Company. The Board has a variety of skills which include significant financial experience, extensive knowledge of the healthcare industry internationally, and experience of public companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. The skills and experience of each director is set out below:

Chair Designate and Independent Non-executive Director Nationality: British Date of appointment: Independent non-executive director and Chair Designate since March 2020.
