SERCO GROUP plc (the 'Company')
(Passed on 21 April 2021)
At the Annual General Meeting of the Company duly convened and held at Enterprise House, 11 Bartley Way, Bartley Wood Business Park, Hook, Hampshire RG27 9XB on Wednesday 21 April the following special business resolutions were duly passed, resolutions 15 and 19 as Ordinary Resolutions and resolutions 16 to 18 and 20 as Special Resolutions of the Company:
such authorities to apply after this resolution is passed in substitution for all existing authorities pursuant to Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 and to expire at the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting or 6.00pm on 30 June 2022, whichever is the earlier, unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in a general meeting but, in each case, so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements before the authority expires which would, or might, require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares to be granted after the authority expires and the Directors may allot shares or grant such rights under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired. References in this Resolution 15 to the nominal amount of rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares (including where such rights are referred to as equity securities as defined in Section 560(1) of the Companies Act 2006) are to the nominal amount of shares that may be allotted pursuant to the rights:
For the purposes of this resolution, "rights issue" means an offer to:
to subscribe for further securities by means of the issue of a renounceable letter (or other negotiable document) which may be traded for a period before payment for the securities is due, but subject in both cases to such limits or restrictions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter.
and so that the Directors may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which they consider 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) (i) of resolution 15 and/or sale of treasury shares for cash (in each case otherwise than in the circumstances set out in paragraph (a) of this resolution 16) up to a nominal amount of £1,216,627 calculated. In the case of equity securities which are rights to subscribe for, or to convert securities into, ordinary shares by reference to the aggregate nominal amount of relevant shares which may be allotted pursuant to such rights,
such authority to apply until the end of the Company's next annual general meeting after this resolution is passed (or, if earlier, until 6.00pm on 30 June 2022) unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting but, in each case, so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements before the authority expires
which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted (and/or treasury shares to be sold) after the authority expires and the Directors may allot equity securities and/or sell treasury shares under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.
For the purpose of this resolution 16, "rights issue" has the same meaning as in resolution 15 above.
such authority to apply until the end of the Company's next annual general meeting (or, if earlier, 6.00pm on 30 June 2022) unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting but, in each case, so that the Company may make offers and enter Into agreements before the authority expires which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares to be granted (and/ or treasury shares to be sold) after the authority expires and the Directors may allot equity securities or grant such rights (and/or sell treasury shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
a) the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be purchased under this authority is 121,662,712 (representing 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company);
b) the minimum price which may be paid for an ordinary share purchased under this authority is 2 pence (exclusive of expenses, if any, payable by the Company);
c) the maximum price which may be paid for an ordinary share purchased under this authority (exclusive of expenses, if any, payable by the Company) is an amount equal to the higher of (a) 5% above the average of the middle market prices shown in the quotations for the ordinary shares in the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days Immediately preceding the date on which the ordinary share is purchased
and (b) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid for an ordinary share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out:
d) this authority will expire at the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting or 6.00pm on 30 June 2022, whichever is the earlier; and
e) a contract, or contracts, to purchase ordinary shares entered into by the Company before the expiry of this authority can be executed, wholly or partly, by the Company after the expiry of this authority.
a) make political donations to political parties and/or independent election candidates;
b) make political donations to political organisations other than political parties; and
c) incur political expenditure,
provided that the total aggregate amount of political donations and political expenditure pursuant to this authority shall not exceed £100,000 for the Group as a whole, and the amount authorised under each of paragraphs (a) to (c) shall be limited to such amount.
All existing authorisations and approvals relating to political donations or political expenditure under Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006 are hereby revoked without prejudice to any donation made or expenditure incurred prior to the date hereof pursuant to such authorisation or approval.
