Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting
Proxy appointment
-
A member who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint another person, or two or more persons in respect of different shares held by them, as their proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak and vote at the meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. Where a member appoints more than one proxy in relation to the Annual General Meeting, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that member.
-
The appointment of a proxy will not prevent members from attending the Annual General Meeting and voting themselves should they wish to do so.
-
A member wishing to attend and vote at the meeting should arrive prior to the time fixed for its commencement.
-
A member that is a corporation can also attend and vote at the meeting through one or more representatives appointed in accordance with section 323 of the Companies Act 2006. Any such representative attending the meeting in person should bring to the meeting written evidence of their appointment, such as a certified copy of a board resolution of, or a letter from, the corporation concerned confirming the appointment. If you are in any doubt about your shareholding, please contact our Registrars.
-
Any member wishing to vote at the meeting without attending must appoint a proxy to do so. A member may appoint a proxy online by following the instructions for the electronic appointment of a proxy at www.capitashares.co.uk. To be a valid proxy appointment, the member's electronic message confirming the details of the appointment completed in accordance with those instructions must be transmitted so as to be received by the same time as stated below for hard copy proxy appointment forms.
Members who hold their shares in uncertificated form may also use the 'CREST voting service' to appoint a proxy electronically, as explained below. Alternatively, hard copy forms for the appointment of a proxy are available on request from MUFG Corporate Markets: email [email protected] or call 0371 664 0300. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls from outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. Lines are open 9.00am to 5.30pm (UK time), Monday to Friday excluding UK public holidays. To be valid, a hard copy proxy appointment form must be completed in accordance with the instructions that accompany it and then delivered (together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a certified copy of such item) to MUFG Corporate Markets, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL so as to be received by 10.30am on Thursday 14 May 2026 or, if the meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting (as the case may be) excluding any part of a day that is not a business day.
If you are an institutional investor you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 10.30am on 14 May 2026 in order to be considered valid or, if the meeting is adjourned, by the time which is 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy. An electronic proxy appointment via the Proxymity platform may be revoked completely by sending an authenticated message via the platform instructing the removal of your proxy vote.
Unless otherwise indicated on the Form of Proxy, CREST, Proxymity or any other electronic voting instruction, the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, withhold from voting.
Nominated persons
- Any person to whom this notice is sent who is currently nominated by a member of the Company to enjoy information rights under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 (a 'nominated person') may have a right under an agreement between them and that member to be appointed, or to have someone else appointed, as a proxy for the meeting. If a nominated person has no such right or does not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the member concerned as to the exercise of voting rights. The statement in note 1 above of the rights of a member in relation to the appointment of proxies does not apply to a nominated person. Such rights can only be exercised by the member concerned.
Information about shares and voting
- As at 18 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this document) (i) the Company's issued share capital consisted of 120,030,667 ordinary shares of 31 pence each, carrying one vote each – there are no shares held in Treasury; and (ii) the total voting rights in the Company were 120,030,667.
Right to attend, vote and ask questions
- The right of a member of the Company to attend and vote at the meeting, and the number of votes which may be cast at the meeting, will be determined by reference to the register of members.
A member must be registered on that register as the holder of ordinary shares by the close of business on Thursday 14 May 2026 or, if the meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting (as the case may be), excluding any part of a day that is not a business day, in order to be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting as a member in respect of those shares. Only members of the Company, appointed proxies or corporate representatives are entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.
- Each member attending the meeting has the right to ask questions relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting which, in accordance with section 319A of the Companies Act 2006 and subject to some exceptions, the Company must cause to be answered. No such answer need be given if (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (c) if it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.
Questions may be asked in advance of the meeting using the online facility at www.capita.com/agm-questions. This facility will be available until 10.30am on Thursday 14 May 2026.

Website information and use of electronic address
-
Information relating to the meeting which the Company is required by the Companies Act 2006 to publish on a website in advance of the meeting may be viewed at www.capita.com.
-
A member may not use any telephone number or electronic address provided by the Company in this document or with any proxy appointment form or in any website for communicating with the Company for any purpose other than as expressly stated in it.
CREST members
-
CREST members who wish to appoint one or more proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting (and any adjournment of the meeting) by using the procedures described in the 'CREST voting service' section of the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed one or more voting service providers, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
-
In order for a proxy appointment or proxy instruction made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST proxy appointment instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of CREST's operator, Euroclear UK & International Limited ('Euroclear'), and must contain all the relevant information required by the CREST Manual. To be valid, the message (regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy) must be transmitted so as to be received by MUFG Corporate Markets (ID RA10), as the Company's 'issuer's agent', by 10.30am on Thursday 14 May 2026 or, if the meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting (as the case may be), excluding any part of a day that is not a business day. After this time any change of instruction to a proxy appointed through the CREST system should be communicated to the appointee through other means. The time of the message's receipt will be taken to be when (as determined by the timestamp applied by the CREST Applications Host) the issuer's agent is first able to retrieve it by enquiry through the CREST system in the prescribed manner.
-
Euroclear does not make available special procedures in the CREST system for transmitting any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations apply in relation to the input of CREST proxy appointment instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or a CREST sponsored member or has appointed any voting service provider(s), to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as is necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should take into account the provisions of the CREST Manual concerning timings as well as its section on 'Practical limitations of the system'. In certain circumstances the Company may, in accordance with the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 or the CREST Manual, treat a CREST proxy appointment instruction as invalid.
-
Please note the Company takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that no viruses are present in any electronic communication it sends out but the Company cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage arising from the opening or use of any email or attachments from the Company and recommends that the members subject all messages to virus checking procedures prior to use. Any electronic communication received by the Company, including the lodgement of an electronic proxy form, that is found to contain any virus will not be accepted.
Votes by poll
- In accordance with the Company's established practice and in accordance with the Company's articles of association, all Resolutions will be voted on by a poll and not by a show of hands so as to record accurately the decision of all members based on their shareholding interests in the Company. Members and proxies attending the meeting will be asked to complete a poll card to indicate how they wish to cast their votes. These cards will be collected at the end of the meeting. The results of the poll will be published on the Company's website and notified to the Financial Conduct Authority once the votes have been counted and verified.
Documents available for inspection
- Copies of the service contracts of the Executive Directors and the letters of appointment of the Non-Executive Directors are available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours and at the place of the meeting from at least 15 minutes prior to the meeting until the end of the meeting.

Members are encouraged to appoint a proxy to cast their votes on all resolutions as soon as possible. The shares covered by the instruction will be voted as directed by the shareholder in respect of the resolutions referred to in this notice at the Annual General Meeting and any adjournment thereof.
- If you cannot attend the Annual General Meeting or submit your vote electronically in advance of the Annual General Meeting but would like to vote on the resolutions, you may do so by appointing a proxy in accordance with these notes, who will attend the Annual General Meeting and vote on your behalf.
Shareholders' resolution
- Members representing 5% or more of the total voting rights of all the members or at least 100 persons (being members who have a right to vote at the Annual General Meeting) may:
i. require the Company under section 338 of the Companies Act 2006, to give to members of the Company entitled to receive notice of the meeting notice of a resolution which may properly be moved at the Annual General Meeting. Any such request, which must comply with section 338(4) of the Act, must be received by the Company no later than 6 weeks before the date fixed for the Annual General Meeting; and
ii. require the Company under section 338 of the Companies Act 2006 to include a matter (other than a proposed resolution) which may be properly included in the business to be dealt with at the Annual General Meeting.

Explanatory notes to the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting
- Resolution 1 – Financial statements and reports 2025
For each financial year, the Directors are required to present the Directors' reports, the audited financial statements and the Auditor's reports to shareholders at a general meeting. The financial statements and reports laid before the Annual General Meeting are for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 and the Company proposes a Resolution on their adoption.
- Resolution 2 – Approval of the Directors' remuneration report
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, shareholders are invited to approve the Directors' remuneration report for the financial year ended 31 December 2025. The Directors' remuneration report is set out on pages 119 to 137 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2025. For the purposes of this Resolution, the Directors' remuneration report does not include the Directors' remuneration policy which is set out on pages 123 to 128 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2025. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and the Directors' entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on this Resolution being passed.
- Resolutions 3 to 9 – Re-election of Directors
Resolutions 3 to 9 relate to the re-election of the Directors.
The Company's articles of association require any Director who has not been elected or re-elected by the Company's shareholders at either of the two previous annual general meetings to retire. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Company's articles of association, and in accordance with Provision 18 of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024, each of the remaining Directors shall retire from office at the Annual General Meeting and stand for re-election by the shareholders.
The Board has reviewed the performance and time commitment of each Director standing for re-election. In respect of Neelam Dhawan, the Board has considered the nature and demands of her external directorships, as described in the Annual Report and Accounts 2025, and is satisfied that she continues to devote sufficient time to her duties. The Board therefore recommends her re-election.
The biographies of each of the Directors standing for re-election are set out in Appendix 1.
- Resolutions 10 and 11 – Appointment and remuneration of Auditor
The Company is required to appoint an Auditor to serve for each financial year of the Company. The appointment must be made before the end of the general meeting before which accounts are laid. KPMG LLP have indicated that they are willing to continue as the Company's Auditor for another year and Resolution 10 is, therefore, to appoint KPMG LLP as Auditor for the financial year ending 31 December 2026. Separately, Resolution 11 authorises the Audit and Risk Committee to determine the Auditor's remuneration.
The proposal to appoint KPMG LLP as the Company's Auditor is based on a recommendation from the Audit and Risk Committee, is free from third party influence and is not subject to any restrictive contractual arrangement.
- Resolution 12 – Renewal of Directors' authority to allot shares
The Directors are currently authorised to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares, but their authorisation ends on the date of the Annual General Meeting. This Resolution seeks to renew the Directors' allotment authority.
If passed, this Resolution will give the Directors the authority to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares up to an aggregate nominal value equal to £12,403,169. This represents approximately 33% of the total ordinary share capital in issue (excluding treasury shares) as at 18 March 2026, (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document).
The renewed authority will remain in force until 30 June 2027 or, if earlier, the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting. As at 18 March 2026 the Company held no treasury shares.
The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority. However, by granting this authority, the Directors will have the flexibility to take advantage of any appropriate opportunities that may arise.
- Resolution 13 – Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights
Resolution 13 is a special resolution which, if passed by shareholders, will enable the Directors to allot ordinary shares in the Company, or to sell any shares held in treasury, for cash, without first offering those shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.
Accordingly, the purpose of Resolution 13 is to authorise the Directors to allot new shares (and other equity securities) pursuant to the allotment authority given by Resolution 12, for cash, up to a nominal amount of £1,860,475 without the shares first being offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. This amount represents approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 18 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document).
The Directors intend to have regard to the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles (as updated from time to time) when considering the exercise of this authority. The Directors note that the authority sought under Resolution 13 falls well within the Pre-Emption Group's recommendations.
The authority sought under Resolution 13 will remain in force until 30 June 2027 or, if earlier, the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting.
Capita plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
- Resolution 14 – Notice of general meetings
The Companies Act 2006 requires the notice period for general meetings of the Company to be at least 21 days. The Company, however, currently has the power to call general meetings (other than an Annual General Meeting) on at least 14 clear days' notice and would like to preserve this ability. In order to be able to do so, shareholders must approve the calling of meetings on at least 14 clear days' notice. Resolution 14, which will be proposed as a special resolution, seeks such approval. The approval will be effective until the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.
The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for general 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.
- Resolution 15 – Authority to make market purchases of ordinary shares
Resolution 15, which will be proposed as a special resolution, is to renew the authority granted to the Directors at last year's Annual General Meeting, which expires on the date of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, and to give the Company authority to buy back its own ordinary shares in the market as permitted by the Companies Act 2006.
The authority limits the number of ordinary shares that could be purchased to a maximum of 12,003,067 shares, which represents approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 18 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document). The authority also sets minimum and maximum prices at which shares may be bought.
The renewed authority will, if passed, remain in force until 30 June 2027 or, if earlier, the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting.
The total number of options to subscribe for ordinary shares for all executive and employee share schemes of the Company which were outstanding as at 18 March 2026 was 5,707,366 which represents approximately 4.75% of the issued share capital of the Company and would represent approximately 4.32% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) if the full authority to repurchase ordinary shares, as proposed by Resolution 15, were exercised. As at 18 March 2026, the Company held no treasury shares.
Any ordinary shares purchased under this authority would be by means of market purchases through the London Stock Exchange. Shares so purchased would be held as treasury shares or cancelled and the number of ordinary shares in issue reduced accordingly. The Directors have no present intention of exercising the authority to purchase the Company's ordinary shares but will keep the matter under review, taking into account other investment opportunities. The authority to repurchase ordinary shares will, if approved by shareholders, only be exercised after careful consideration by the Directors, and if such an exercise would result in an increase in earnings per share and would be in the best interests of shareholders generally.
Recommendation
The Board considers that the passing of all the Resolutions set out in the notice of Annual General Meeting is likely to promote the success of the Company and would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Directors recommend unanimously that you vote in favour of the Resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings (save in respect of those Resolutions in which they are interested).
