12 March 2021
To: Shareholders of Domino's Pizza Group plc
The 2021 Annual General Meeting (the 'Meeting', 'AGM' or 'Annual General Meeting') of Domino's Pizza Group plc (the 'Company'), will be held at 1 Thornbury, West Ashland, Milton Keynes, MK6 4BB, at 10:00 am on Thursday 22 April 2021. This document includes the Notice of AGM, which sets out the resolutions that shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on. These resolutions are a very important part of the governance of the Company and all shareholders are urged to vote, whether they are able to attend the Meeting or not.
Our preference had been to welcome shareholders in person to our 2021 AGM, particularly given the constraints we faced in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, at present, the government-issued rules do not enable a wider physical meeting to take place in England. We are therefore proposing to hold the AGM with the minimum attendance required to form a quorum. Shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person but can be represented by the Chair of the meeting acting as their proxy.
Given the constantly evolving nature of the situation, should circumstances change before the time of the AGM, we want to ensure that we are able to adapt arrangements and welcome shareholders to the AGM, within safety constraints and in accordance with government guidelines. Should we consider that it has become possible to do so, we will notify shareholders of the change in arrangements as early as is possible before the date of the meeting. Any updates to the position will be communicated via a regulatory news service and published on the Company's website.
Given the improbability of shareholders being able to attend the AGM, we recommend that all shareholders complete and return the Proxy Form enclosed with this Notice of AGM appointing the Chair of the meeting as their proxy. This will ensure that your vote will be counted even if attendance at the meeting is restricted or you are unable to attend in person. Please complete and return the Proxy Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon so that it arrives at the Company's registrars, Equiniti Limited, as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than 10:00 am on Tuesday 20 April 2021. As is the Company's normal practice, voting at the AGM will be conducted by poll. The results of the AGM voting on the resolutions will be published after the AGM and will be available on the Company's website.
The AGM is routinely an opportunity for shareholders to hear from and ask questions of the Board in relation to the business of the AGM. While shareholders are currently not permitted to attend the AGM in person, the Company values shareholder feedback and is keen to ensure that this dialogue continues, despite the challenges faced by Covid-19 and Covid-19 related restrictions. Ahead of the AGM, we will publish a presentation on the Company's website, where we will reflect on the Company's performance this past year. In addition, we also invite shareholders to raise any questions in connection with the business of the meeting by submitting any questions by email to [email protected] by 10:00 am on Thursday 15 April 2021. We will endeavour to answer any questions by 10.00 am on Friday 16 April 2021 to allow shareholders to reflect on those answers before voting on the resolutions.
The Notice of Meeting contains certain items of business, which are of a technical nature and are, therefore, explained in detail below. I encourage you to read the enclosed Notice of the AGM which explains the particulars of the business to be considered at the meeting. There are ordinary resolutions numbered 1 to 18 and special resolutions numbered 19 to 23 to be transacted. All of these items of business are summarised and explained below.
Any shareholder that wishes to raise a question in connection with business to be conducted at the meeting, can do so in advance of the AGM by sending it by email to [email protected].
Ordinary resolutions 1 to 4 deal with the receipt by the shareholders of the Company's Annual Report and Accounts (including the Strategic Report, the Directors' report and the Auditor's report) for the 52-week period ended 27 December 2020 (resolution 1), the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor of the Company (resolution 2) and the power to determine the auditor's remuneration (resolution 3) and the declaration of a final dividend of 9.1p per Ordinary share in the capital of the Company which has been recommended by the Directors of the Company (each a 'Director' and together the 'Directors') (resolution 4).
Resolutions 5 to 11 deal with the re-election of each of the existing Directors (other than Neil Smith, Lynn Fordham, Natalia Barsegiyan and Stella David). The Company's Articles of Association require all Directors of the Company to submit themselves for re-election at each Annual General Meeting. Each of the Directors is, therefore, choosing to retire voluntarily at the AGM and, being eligible, submit themselves for re-election.
Resolutions 12 to 15 deal with the election of each Director appointed to the Board following the conclusion of the 2020 AGM, those being Neil Smith, Lynn Fordham and Natalia Barsegiyan, all of whom joined the Board on 16 September 2020, and Stella David who joined the Board on 23 February 2021. The Company's Articles of Association require any Director newly appointed to the Board to retire at the first AGM after their appointment and so they are each being elected to the Board by the Company at the AGM.
Following a full performance evaluation of the Board (as at 8 March 2021), which included an assessment of the performance of each individual Director, the Nomination Committee has confirmed to the Board that each Director standing for re-election or election continues to make an effective and valuable contribution and that they demonstrate commitment to their respective roles. The Board, therefore, supports each Director's re-election, or election as the case may be and regards each Director as continuing to be important for the Company's long- term sustainable success. Biographical details of each of the Directors standing for re-election or election, which provides details of the relevant experience of each of the Directors, can be found on pages 6 to 9 of this document and pages 70 to 73 of the Annual Report and Accounts for those Directors on the Board as at 8 March 2021.
The Companies Act 2006 (the '2006 Act') requires quoted companies, at each general meeting at which statutory accounts are to be laid, to propose an ordinary resolution approving the Directors' remuneration report for the year. Resolution 16 seeks shareholder approval of the Directors' remuneration report for the 52 weeks ended 27 December 2020, which is included in the Annual Report and Accounts on pages 100 to 126. This vote will be in respect of the contents of that report. It has an advisory effect and, whether or not the resolution is passed, has no impact on any Director's level or terms of remuneration.
Resolution 17 deals with the authority of the Directors to issue and allot new Ordinary shares. The 2006 Act provides that Directors shall only allot unissued shares with the prior authority of shareholders in a general meeting. The existing authority granted to the Directors at the last Annual General Meeting to allot unissued Ordinary shares expires at the conclusion of this AGM. Accordingly, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to renew the Directors' authority pursuant to section 551 of the 2006 Act to allot Ordinary shares with a nominal value of up to £814,120, which represents approximately one-third of the total current issued Ordinary share capital as at 10 March 2021, being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document (the 'Latest Practicable Date').
In accordance with institutional guidelines issued by the Investment Association, paragraph (b) of resolution 17 will be proposed to allow the Directors to allot equity securities (as defined within section 560 of the 2006 Act), including the Ordinary shares referred to in paragraph (a) of resolution 17, in connection with a pre-emptive offer by way of a rights issue to Ordinary shareholders up to a maximum nominal amount of £1,628,240, representing approximately two-thirds of the Company's existing share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date. Although the Directors have no present intention to exercise this authority other than in connection with the satisfaction of share awards granted pursuant to the Company's employee share schemes, it will give the Directors flexibility to allot shares as may be necessary in the interests of the Company as a whole.
The authority granted under resolution 17 will, if granted, expire on the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2022 or, if earlier, 15 months from the date of the passing of the resolution, unless such authority is renewed prior to this time. The Directors intend to renew such power at successive Annual General Meetings in accordance with current best practice.
Resolution 18 is designed to deal with the rules on political donations contained in Part 14 of the 2006 Act. Political donations to any political parties, independent election candidates or political organisations or the incurring of political expenditure are prohibited unless authorised by shareholders in advance.
Although the Company does not make, and does not intend to make, political donations to political parties or political organisations or independent election candidates, or to incur political expenditure, the legislation is very broadly drafted and may catch such activities as funding seminars or functions to which politicians are invited, or may extend to bodies concerned with policy review, law reform and representation of the business community that the Company and its subsidiaries might wish to support. Accordingly, the Directors have decided to put forward this resolution to permit political donations and political expenditure in case any of its activities in its normal course of business are, or could be, caught by the legislation. This authority will cover the period from the date resolution 18 is passed until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2022, or, if earlier, 15 months from the date of the passing of the resolution. As permitted under the 2006 Act, resolution 18 also covers any political donations made, or any political expenditure incurred, by any subsidiaries of the Company.
If the Directors wish to exercise the authority under resolution 17 and offer shares (or sell any shares which the Company holds as treasury shares) for cash, the 2006 Act provides that unless shareholders have given specific authority for the waiver of their statutory pre-emption rights under sections 570 and 573 of the 2006 Act, these shares must be offered first to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings. The existing authority granted to the Directors at the 2020 Annual General Meeting to allot shares for cash pursuant to sections 570 and 573 of the 2006 Act expires at the conclusion of the AGM.
Accordingly, a special resolution (resolution 19) will be proposed to authorise the Directors to allot shares for cash or to sell treasury shares for cash (i) by way of a rights issue (subject to certain exclusions), or by way of an open offer or other offer of securities (not being a rights issue) in favour of existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings (subject to certain exclusions) or (ii) otherwise up to an aggregate nominal value of £122,130 (representing approximately 5% of the current issued Ordinary share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date). This special resolution will, inter alia, enable the Company, in the event of a rights issue or open offer, to meet certain practical difficulties which may arise in connection with fractional entitlements or in respect of overseas shareholders as a result of local law requirement and which prevent shares being issued strictly pro rata.
This disapplication authority is in line with institutional shareholder guidance, and in particular with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles, and the Directors confirm that, in line with best practice, the Company has not issued more than 7.5% of its issued share capital on a non-pre-emptive basis over the last three years and that their intention is not to issue more than 7.5% of the Company's issued share capital for cash other than to existing shareholders in any rolling three-year period, without prior consultation with shareholders.
The Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles was revised in March 2015 to allow the authority for an issue of shares for cash otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to be increased from 5% to 10% of the Company's issued share capital, provided that the additional 5% authority is used only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment (as defined in the Statement of Principles). In May 2016, the Pre-Emption Group issued guidance recommending that the authority in respect of the additional 5% should be set out in a separate special resolution. Resolution 20 is in respect of the use of an additional 5% and complies with the recommendations of the Pre-Emption Group.
Under resolution 20, the Directors are seeking further authority to offer shares (or sell treasury shares) for cash otherwise than to existing shareholders pro rata to their holdings up to an aggregate nominal value of £122,130, which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the issued Ordinary share capital of the Company on the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors confirm that they intend to use the authority sought in resolution 19 only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the issue, or which has taken place in the preceding six-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue.
Although the Directors have no present intention to exercise the authorities sought in resolutions 19 and 20, other than in connection with the satisfaction of share awards granted pursuant to the Company's employee share schemes, they will give the Directors flexibility to allot shares as may be necessary in the interests of the Company as a whole.
The authorities in resolutions 19 and 20, if granted, will expire on the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2022 or, if earlier, 15 months from the date of the passing of the resolutions, unless such authorisations are renewed prior to this time. The Directors intend to renew such powers at subsequent Annual General Meetings in accordance with current best practice.
The current authority given at the 2020 Annual General Meeting to the Company to purchase its own Ordinary shares will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.
The Directors consider that it would be beneficial if, in certain circumstances, the Company had the power to purchase its own Ordinary shares, for the purposes of returning surplus funds to shareholders and providing a return on investment. The Directors therefore consider that it would be beneficial for the shareholders of the Company as a whole if the Company were granted the flexibility to repurchase its Ordinary shares. The Directors do not consider that they have a conflict in relation to this resolution.
The Directors recommend that the existing power to purchase its Ordinary shares (in defined circumstances) up to a maximum prescribed limit be renewed for a further limited period. Such period will be up to the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2022, or, if earlier, 15 months from the date of the passing of the resolution, unless such authority is renewed prior to this time. The Board intends to seek renewal of this power at subsequent Annual General Meetings in accordance with current best practice.
The Company will only make purchases of its Ordinary shares if it has the requisite distributable reserves to do so and the Directors are satisfied, after careful consideration, that these are in the best interests of the Company and shareholders generally and could be reasonably expected to result in an increase in expected earnings per share. Furthermore, account will be taken of the overall financial implications for the Company.
If such purchases were made, the Company will do either, or a combination, of the following:
Treasury shares themselves may be cancelled, sold for cash or transferred for the purpose of the Company's share schemes. The statutory pre-emption rights apply to a sale of treasury shares for cash and the disapplication of the statutory pre-emption rights in resolutions 19 and 20 includes, within the authorised amounts, any sales of treasury shares for cash which may occur. Finally, if such purchases were made, to the extent the purchased shares are held as treasury shares, any increase in earnings per share would only be temporary, until the shares in question were either cancelled, or sold, or transferred out of treasury.
The resolution specifies that the maximum number of Ordinary shares that the Company may purchase will be 46,898,007 Ordinary shares (being approximately 10% of the Company's issued Ordinary share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date).
The maximum price per Ordinary share payable on any exercise of the authority set out in resolution 21 shall be the higher of:
The minimum price payable shall be 25/48ths of a penny (approximately 0.520833p) per Ordinary share. For this purpose, both the maximum and minimum prices permitted to be paid are exclusive of expenses and any stamp duty.
The number of Ordinary shares in respect of which options have been granted that remain outstanding is 6,041,625 (constituting approximately 1.29% of the current issued Ordinary share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date). If the Company were to buy back the maximum number of Ordinary shares permitted pursuant to resolution 21, then the total number of options to subscribe for Ordinary shares outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date would represent 1.43% of the reduced issued share capital, as at the same date. [The Company has no warrants in issue in relation to its Ordinary shares.
Resolution 22 proposes the adoption of new articles of association (the "New Articles") in substitution for the Company's current articles of association (the "Current Articles"). The Company is proposing to adopt the New Articles in order to update the Current Articles to reflect recent developments in market practice in relation to hybrid meetings.
The New Articles are intended to allow (but do not require) the Company to hold "hybrid" or "multi-venue" general meetings in times where physical participation may be prevented or restricted. Such meetings would provide shareholders with the option to attend and participate in person (in the main location or in specified other locations) or virtually by electronic means. It is not the current intention of the Board to routinely hold combined physical and electronic or virtual general meetings and such meetings will only be held if the Board is confident that the Company has sufficient technology in place at the relevant time to hold and conduct such meetings in an orderly fashion. In line with the views expressed by institutional shareholder bodies, the changes will not permit meetings to be held exclusively on an electronic or virtual basis, so a physical meeting will still be required.
These changes were introduced to provide the Board greater flexibility to align with technological advances, changes in investor sentiment and evolving best practice, particularly in light of the Covid-19 outbreak. Absent exceptional circumstances, members of the Board intend to continue the practice of attending general meetings of the Company in person.
These changes are primarily contained in articles 47, 49, 55, 57 and 59 in the New Articles. A number of other consequential amendments have been made to the New Articles.
A copy of the New Articles is available for inspection at the Company's registered office, 1 Thornbury, West Ashland, Milton Keynes MK6 4BB, during normal business hours on any weekday (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excluded) from the date of this Notice until the close of the Annual General Meeting and on the Company's website at http://investors.dominos.co.uk.
Resolution 23 is a resolution to allow the Company to hold general meetings (other than Annual General Meetings) on 14 clear days' notice. Changes made to the 2006 Act by the Companies (Shareholders' Rights) Regulations 2009 increase the notice period required for general meetings of the Company to 21 clear days unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot, however, be less than 14 clear days. Such approval will not affect Annual General Meetings, which will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice.
Following shareholder approval at the last Annual General Meeting, the Company is currently able to call general meetings (other than Annual General Meetings) on 14 clear days' notice and the Directors believe it is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company to preserve the shorter notice period and, accordingly, are putting this resolution to the Meeting. The Directors intend that this shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for such meetings but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders, as a whole. The approval will be effective until the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when it is expected that a similar resolution will be proposed.
In order to be able to call a general meeting on less than 21 clear days' notice, the Company must make a means of electronic voting available to all shareholders for that meeting.
Proxy Forms should be completed and returned in accordance with the instructions printed thereon so that they arrive at the Company's registrars, Equiniti Limited, as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than 10:00 am on Tuesday 20 April 2021 or, in the event of any adjournment of the Meeting, the time being 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Meeting.
Your Directors consider that the resolutions to be put to the Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and are most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of members, as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM, as they intend to do in respect of their own interests, amounting in aggregate to 3,068,700 Ordinary shares.
Yours faithfully,
