explanatory notes
Resolution 1: accounts
The Directors must present to the Meeting the Financial Statements of Acal plc (the "Company") for the year ended 31 March 2012 together with the Reports of the Directors and the Auditors thereon and the Directors' Remuneration Report with the associated Auditors' Report. These are contained in the Company's Annual Report.
Resolution 2: declaration of a dividend
A final dividend can only be paid after it has been approved by the shareholders and cannot exceed the amount recommended by the Board, A final dividend of 5.5 pence per ordinary share is recommended for payment by the Board to the shareholders who are entered in the register of members of the Company at the close of business on 15 June 2012 and, if approved, the date of payment of the final dividend will be 27 July 2012.
Resolution 3: approval of Directors' Remuneration Report
The Companies Act 2006 requires that the Directors seek the approval of the shareholders to the Directors' Remuneration Report as set out on pages 35 to 39 of the Company's Annual Report;
Resolution 4, 5 and 6: re-election of Directors
The Company's Articles of Association require Directors to retire every three years. Under this provision, Nick Jefferies and Graham Williams are required to retire at the Company's Annual General Meeting this year and are eligible for re-election. Additionally, it should be noted that Mr Williams was appointed to the Board in December 2003, and will have served on the Board for more than nine years in December this year, at which point he will no longer be deemed independent under the UK Corporate Governance Code. The Board, though, is of the view that his objectivity and willingness to challenge management have not been compromised in any way by his tenure on the Board and that he remains independent therefore,
The Company's Articles of Association also require Directors who have served on the Board for more than nine years to retire at each Annual General Meeting thereafter, Consequently, Eric Barton, who was appointed to the Board in September 2002, is required to retire at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting and is eligible for re-election. While no longer deemed to be independent under the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board is of the view that he remains independent for the same reasons as cited for Mr Williams,
Information about each of the Directors eligible for re-election is set out in the appendix to this Notice.
Resolution 7 and 8: re-appointment of auditors
The Companies Act 2006 requires that the auditors of a company must be re-appointed at each general meeting at which accounts are presented, Resolution 7 proposes the re-appointment of the Company's existing Auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, until the next Annual General Meeting,
In accordance with current best practice, Resolution 8 is a separate resolution which gives authority to the Directors to determine the Auditors' remuneration
Resolution 9: authority to allot
The Companies Act 2006 requires that, to allot unissued shares, the Directors must receive authority from shareholders. The Company's Articles of Association give a general authority to the Directors to allot unissued shares which is subject to renewal by the shareholders. This Resolution would allow the Directors to issue new shares up to a total nominal value of £474,663 (the Section 551 Amount) which will represent approximately onethird of the Company's issued share capital (calculated exclusive of any treasury shares) at the date of this Notice. This authority would expire on the earlier of the date of the Company's next Annual General Meeting or 18 October 2013
The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority but, as in previous years, consider it desirable that they should have the flexibility to issue new shares from time to time to enable the Company to act in the best interests of shareholders when opportunities arise.
Resolution 10 and 13: additional authorities to allot shares and disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights in connection with a rights issue These resolutions authorise the Directors to allot, in addition to the authority referred to in Resolution 9, up to a further nominal amount of £474,663 in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders by way of a rights issue, without the need to comply with the strict requirements of the statutory pre-emption provisions. This is in accordance with quidance on directors' powers to allot shares published by the Association of British Insurers ("ABI") on 31 December 2008.
The quidance states that ABI members would support resolutions authorising the allotment of an additional one-third of the issued ordinary share capital provided that the additional authority can only be used for fully pre-emptive rights issues. In accordance with the ABI guidance, in the event that the general and additional authorities were used and:
- the number of ordinary shares in issue is thereby increased, in aggregate, by more than one-third; and
- in the case of any issue being in whole or part by way of a fully pre-emptive rights issue, where the monetary proceeds exceed one-third (or such lesser relevant proportion) of the pre-issue market capitalisation of the Company,
all members of the Board who wish to remain in office will stand for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company following the decision to make the issue in question.
While the Directors have no present intention to make use of these authorities (which will expire on the earlier of the date of the Company's next Annual General Meeting or 18 October 2013), as it did last year, the Company intends to take advantage of the flexibility conferred by these authorities. Such an approach is consistent with that taken by many other listed companies.
explanatory notes
Resolution 11: authority to issue and allot shares to the Trustee of the Acal plc Employee Benefit Trust This resolution authorises the issue and allotment of up to 764,224 new shares to the Trustee of the Acal plc Employee Benefit Trust to satisfy the exercise of nil cost options granted to Nick Jefferies on 31 March 2009 and Simon Gibbins on 20 July 2010. These nil-cost options were granted as one-off awards to facilitate the recruitment of Nick and Simon as permitted by and in compliance with rule 9,4.2(2) of the Listing Rules.
The authority is for the maximum number of new shares which may be required by the Trustee if the Trustee subscribed shares from the Company This number may be adjusted to reflect any variation in the Company's share capital, to the extent that any adjustment is made in accordance with the terms of the nil-cost options to the number of shares over which the nil-cost options are or may become exercisable. Nick Jefferies's nil-cost option has already become exercisable over 584,777 shares, Simon Gibbins's nil-cost option was granted over a maximum of 179,447 shares and will become exercisable on the satisfaction of performance conditions.
Originally, it was envisaged that the Trustee would be funded by the Company to buy shares in the market to satisfy the exercise of the nil-cost options. However the Company deems it appropriate to make sure that there is an alternative available which would be more efficient for the Company by preserving its cash resources.
Resolution 12: disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights
The Companies Act 2006 requires that, subject to certain exceptions, before directors of a company can issue any new shares (including the sale of treasury shares) for cash, the new shares must first be offered to existing members of the Company in proportion to the number of shares which they hold at the time of the offer.
The Company's Articles of Association give a general authority to the Directors so that this statutory pre-emption requirement does not apply to allotments of shares or the sale of treasury shares for cash up to a specific amount which is subject to renewal by shareholders,
In addition to and without prejudice to the authority in Resolution 10, this Resolution would allow the Directors to allot shares or sell treasury shares for cash only pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 9
- up to a nominal value of £71,199 (the Section 561 Amount) which is approximately five per centi of the Company's issued share capital $(a)$ (calculated inclusive of treasury shares) at the date of this Notice; and
- in a rights issue (as defined in the Company's Articles of Association) up to £474,663 $(b)$
This means that the rights of existing shareholders are protected. If a share issue is not a rights issue, the proportionate interest of existing shareholders could not, without their agreement, be reduced by more than five per cent, by the issue of new shares or the sale of treasury shares for cash to new shareholders, Such authority would expire on the earlier of the date of the Company's next Armual General Meeting or 18 October 2013. Again, the Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority but, as in previous years, consider it desirable that they should have the flexibility to act in the best interests of shareholders when opportunities arise.
Resolution 14: market purchases
The Companies Act 2006 requires that a company must be authorised by its shareholders for it to purchase its own shares. The Company's Articles of Association contain a provision allowing the Directors to purchase the Company's own shares subject to the prior authority of the shareholders having been obtained. This Resolution seeks authority for the Company to make market purchases of its own shares within the limits set out.
The Directors are of the opinion that it would be advantageous for the Company to be in a position to purchase its own shares through the London Stock Exchange should market conditions and price justify that action. The proposed authority would enable the Company to purchase up to a maximum of 2,847,980 ordinary shares of five pence each in the capital of the Company with a stated upper limit on the price payable which reflects the requirements of the Listing Rules. Purchases would only be made after the most careful consideration where the Directors believed that an increase in earnings or net assets per share would result and where purchases were, in the opinion of the Directors, in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Directors consider that it is prudent to obtain the proposed authority, although they do not currently intend to exercise it.
The Companies Act 2006 permits companies to hold any shares acquired by way of market purchases in treasury rather than having to cancel them The Company would consider holding any of its own shares purchased under the authority granted by Resolution 14 as treasury shares. This would give the Company the ability to re-issue treasury shares as and when required quickly and cost effectively and would provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. No dividends would be paid on shares while held in treasury and no voting rights would attach to those shares.
Resolution 15: Notice of general meetings
Due to changes in the law made by the implementation of the Companies (Shareholders Rights) Regulations 2009, listed companies must call general meetings (other than an annual general meeting) on at least 21 clear days' notice unless the company
- has obtained shareholder approval for the holding of general meetings on 14 clear days' notice by passing an appropriate resolution at its $(a)$ most recent annual general meeting; and
- offers the facility for shareholders to vote by electronic means accessible to all shareholders. $(b)$
To enable the Company to continue to utilise the shorter notice period of 14 days for calling such general meetings, shareholders are being asked to approve this Resolution. The 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. If granted, this authority will be effective until the Company's next Annual General Meeting. This is the same authority as was sought and granted at the 2010 and 2011 Annual General Meetings.
