To: Shareholders of Domino's Pizza Group plc 18 March 2024
To: Shareholders of Domino's Pizza Group plc
Dear shareholder,
Annual General Meeting – Wednesday 1 May 2024
The 2024 Annual General Meeting (the 'Meeting', 'AGM' or 'Annual General Meeting') of Domino's Pizza Group plc (the 'Company'), will be held at etc.venues, St. Pauls, 200 Aldersgate, London, EC1A 4HD, at 10:00 am on Wednesday 1 May 2024. 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.
The prime purpose of the AGM is for shareholders to hear from and ask questions of the Board of Directors (the 'Board') in relation to the business of the AGM. This year's AGM is being held in central London. We hope the central location and in person format will encourage shareholder attendance.
As is the Company's normal practice, voting at the AGM will be conducted by poll. This reflects the Company's established practice, and the Board considers that a poll is the best way of representing the views of as many shareholders as possible in the voting process. The results of the AGM voting on the resolutions will be published after the AGM and will be available on the Company's website.
We 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 Tuesday 23 April 2024. We will endeavour to answer any questions by 10.00 am on Thursday 25 April 2024, and publish the answers on our website. This will allow all shareholders, and especially those voting by proxy, 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. 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 15 and special resolutions numbered 16 to 19 to be transacted. All of these items of business are summarised and explained in detail below.
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 53-week period ended 31 December 2023 (resolution 1), the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor of the Company (resolution 2), the power to determine the auditor's remuneration (resolution 3), and the declaration of a final dividend of 7.2p 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 12 deal with the election or re-election of each of the existing Directors. 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. Andrew Rennie joined the Board since the last AGM and is standing for election for the first time.
Following a full performance evaluation of the Board (as at 11 March 2024), which included an assessment of the performance of each individual Director, the Nomination & Governance Committee has confirmed to the Board that each Director standing for election or re-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 election or re-election 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 election and re-election, which provides details of the relevant experience of each of the Directors, can be found on pages 6 and 7 of this document and pages 54 and 55 of the Annual Report and Accounts for those Directors on the Board as at 11 March 2024.
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 13 seeks shareholder approval of the Directors' Remuneration report for the 53 weeks ended 31 December 2023, which is included in the Annual Report and Accounts on pages 78 to 108. 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 14 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 £685,248, which represents approximately one-third of the total current issued Ordinary share capital as at 11 March 2024, 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 14 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 15, in connection with a pre-emptive offer by way of a rights issue to Ordinary shareholders up to a maximum nominal amount of £1,370,496, representing approximately twothirds 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 acquisition of Shorecal Limited as announced on 12 March 2024, and 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 14 will, if granted, expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2025 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 15 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, 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 any political parties, independent election candidates, or political organisations, 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 15 is passed until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2025 or, if earlier, 15 months from the date of the passing of the resolution. As permitted under the 2006 Act, resolution 15 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 14 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 2023 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 16) 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 £102,797 (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.
The disapplication authorities being sought are in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles published in 2015 (the 'Pre-Emption Principles'). The Pre-Emption Principles allow the authority for an issue of shares for cash otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to include: (i) an authority over 5% of a company's issued share capital for use on an unrestricted basis; and (ii) an additional authority over a further 5% of a company's issued share capital for use in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment announced contemporaneously with the issue, or which has taken place in the six-month period preceding the announcement of the issue.
The Board notes that in November 2022 the Pre-Emption Group published a revised Statement of Principles. At this time the Board considers it appropriate to follow the thresholds in the previous Statement of Principles published by the Pre-Emption Group in 2015 but will keep this under review.
Under resolution 17, 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 £102,797, 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 17 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 16 and 17, (other than in connection with the acquisition of Shorecal Limited as announced on 12 March 2024, and 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 16 and 17, if granted, will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2025 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 2023 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 2025, 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 could 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 16 and 17 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.
It is the Directors' current intention that any ordinary shares purchased under this authority will be automatically canceled and the number of ordinary shares will be reduced accordingly or held as treasury shares.
The resolution specifies that the maximum number of Ordinary shares that the Company may purchase will be 39,474,242 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 18 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 11,485,920 (constituting approximately 2.91% 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 18, then the total number of options to subscribe for Ordinary shares outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date would represent 3.23% 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 19 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 Monday 29 April 2024 or, in the event of any adjournment of the Meeting, the time being 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Meeting. If you are unable to attend in person, you are strongly encouraged to appoint a proxy and return the completed Proxy Form by the specified deadline.
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 1,431,327 Ordinary shares.
