Annual General Meeting: 20 July 2017
I am writing with details of our Annual General Meeting ('AGM'), which will be held on Thursday 20 July 2017 at 9.30am at The Merrion Hotel, Upper Merrion Street, Dublin 2, D02 KF79, Ireland.
We regard the AGM as an important forum for engaging with shareholders, particularly private shareholders, and we welcome your questions. If you cannot attend in person, you may submit questions about the AGM's business in advance, by email to [email protected] or on the reply paid question card attached to the proxy form. We will consider all questions and, if appropriate, address them at the AGM, via Experian's website (www.experianplc.com) or individually.
The notice of meeting and notes are set out on pages 2 to 4 of this document. An explanation of the resolutions being proposed at the meeting is set out in Appendix 1. Voting will be taken on a poll, except for any procedural resolution which may be taken on a show of hands. I encourage you to use your vote by attending in person, voting electronically online or completing and returning a proxy form by post. You may place your proxy form in an envelope addressed to the Company's share registrars.
A postage stamp is not needed if you post the form in the UK and, should shareholders wish, proxy forms may be placed in an envelope and addressed to the Company's registrars. You should return your completed form as soon as possible but it must arrive no later than 9.30am on Tuesday 18 July 2017. Returning a proxy form will not prevent you from attending the meeting in person. If you wish to vote electronically, you can do so by registering for the Capita Share Portal service, at www.experianplc.com/shares.
Further details of how to vote are included in the 'Information for shareholders' section at the end of this document. Shareholders entitled to attend, speak and vote at the AGM may appoint a proxy to exercise their rights in their place. You may appoint more than one proxy, provided that you appoint each proxy to exercise the rights attached to different shares.
The Company announced on 1 June 2017 that Mike Rogers had been appointed as a new independent non-executive director with effect from 1 July 2017, and as Chairmandesignate of the Experian plc Remuneration Committee. Mike brings to the Experian Board over 30 years of banking and financial services experience, with a reputation for strategic insight and focused execution. He will succeed Roger Davis as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee with effect from the Annual General Meeting in July 2018. His appointment was announced following the
approval of the Annual Report and financial statements. Mike's biographical details together with his skills and experience are shown in Appendix 2. Roger Davis has notified the Company of his intention to step down as a director of the Company and Chairman of the Remuneration Committee with effect from the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in July 2018.
The directors have announced a second interim dividend of 28.5 US cents per ordinary share, to be paid on 21 July 2017 to holders of the Company's ordinary shares on 23 June 2017. To ensure that certain UK shareholders have the same tax treatment on their dividend as if the Company was based in the UK, we have put income access share arrangements in place. The mechanics of these arrangements make it impractical to submit a proposed dividend for approval at the AGM, but the Board has no plans to announce any additional dividend in respect of the year ended 31 March 2017.
The directors consider that all the resolutions to be put to the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of all resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings.
Yours faithfully
Don Robert Chairman
Experian plc (incorporated and registered in Jersey. No. 93905)
Corporate headquarters: Newenham House, Northern Cross, Malahide Road, Dublin 17, D17 AY61, Ireland Registered office: 22 Grenville Street, St. Helier, Jersey, JE4 8PX, Channel Islands
Explanatory notes regarding the resolutions set out below are contained in Appendix 1.
You will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, pass the following resolutions.
such authority to expire at the end of the Allotment Period specified in resolution 17 except that the Company may before such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted (and treasury shares to be sold) after such expiry and the directors may allot equity securities (and sell treasury shares) in pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
(ii) the minimum price (not including expenses) which may be paid for each ordinary share is 10 US cents;
(iii) the maximum price (not including expenses) which may be paid for each ordinary share is an amount equal to the higher of: (a) 105% of the average market value of the Company's ordinary shares as derived from The London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which the relevant share is purchased; and (b) the price of the last independent trade and the highest current bid as stipulated by the Commission-adopted Regulatory Technical Standards pursuant to article 5(6) of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU No. 596/2014); and

and in each case the appointment of proxy (together with any relevant power/ authority) must be received (or, in the case of the appointment of a proxy through CREST, retrieved by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST) by the Company's registrars not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting.
Resolutions 1 to 17 will each be proposed as an ordinary resolution that will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast are in favour of the resolution. Resolutions 18, 19 and 20 will each be proposed as a special resolution that will be passed if not less than two-thirds of the votes cast are in favour of the particular resolution.
The directors are required to present to the meeting the Annual Report and financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2017 together with the report of the auditor.
Resolution 2 is an advisory shareholder vote on the Report on directors' remuneration contained in the Annual Report (excluding the Directors' remuneration policy set out on pages 88 to 96 of the report) and financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2017, to provide shareholder feedback to the Board.
Experian plc is a Jersey-incorporated company and is therefore not subject to the UK company law requirement to submit its directors' remuneration policy report to a binding shareholder vote. However, the Company has voluntarily adopted the remuneration reporting format in the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, Schedule 8, and is therefore submitting the directors' remuneration policy (set out on pages 88 to 96 of the Report on directors' remuneration contained within the Annual Report) to shareholders for consideration, as an advisory shareholder vote. In line with the Company's commitment to good corporate governance, the Board will take due notice of shareholder feedback on the policy vote (including engagement with major shareholders, in the event of the vote not being successful) and the Board intends to operate in line with the approved policy. The Company would seek a further advisory vote from its shareholders should the current policy change or, if earlier, in three years' time.
In accordance with the Company's articles of association, any director appointed by the Board since the date of the last Annual General Meeting shall retire at the next Annual General Meeting following their appointment. Accordingly, at this year's Annual General Meeting, Caroline Donahue and Mike Rogers will retire and, being eligible, will offer themselves for election.
In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, all remaining members of the Board will retire at this year's Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.
As more fully described in the Corporate governance report in the Annual Report and financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2017, a comprehensive external evaluation of the performance of the Board was carried out during the year ended 31 March 2017. The evaluation took place in late 2016, with evaluation meetings held with Board members except Caroline Donahue and Mike Rogers, who were appointed in 2017. This process was complemented with separate meetings between each director and the Chairman in order to evaluate their performance. The Deputy Chairman, through consultation with the other directors and the Chief Executive Officer, undertook the evaluation of the Chairman.
A report on the evaluation was circulated to directors ahead of, and considered at, the Board meeting held in February 2017. The key findings of the evaluation, including 2017/2018 objectives for improving Board effectiveness, are described in the Corporate governance report in the Annual Report. The Board concluded that it was operating effectively and that each director was contributing to the overall effectiveness and success of the Group. Accordingly, the Board recommends each retiring director's election/re-election as set out in resolutions 4 to 14.
Biographical details of all the directors, including details of their skills and experience, are set out in Appendix 2.
An auditor has to be appointed at each Annual General Meeting. KPMG LLP has advised of its willingness to stand for re-appointment as the auditor of the Company.
The remuneration of the auditor may be fixed by the directors or the Company in general meeting. The usual practice is for shareholders to resolve at the Annual General Meeting that the directors decide on such remuneration.
The purpose of resolution 17 is to renew the directors' authority to allot new shares and other relevant securities, this year up to an aggregate nominal value of US\$31,377,937, which is equivalent to approximately one-third of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, as at 7 June 2017.
At 7 June 2017, the Company held 61,958,503 ordinary shares in treasury.
The authority sought in resolution 17 is in substitution for all existing authorities, granted in the Company's articles of association or otherwise, and without prejudice to previous allotments made under such existing authorities. The authority will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2018 or, if earlier, 19 October 2018.
The UK Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles, as updated in March 2015, supports the annual disapplication of pre-emption rights in respect of allotments of shares and other equity securities, and sales of treasury shares for cash, representing no more than 5% of issued ordinary share capital (exclusive of treasury shares), without restriction as to the use of proceeds of those allotments.
Accordingly, the purpose of resolution 18, which is conditional on the passing of resolution 17 and will be proposed as a special resolution, is to put in place a new authority for the directors to allot equity securities (as defined in the Company's articles of association) wholly for cash, or sell treasury shares for cash, without offering those equity securities or treasury shares pro rata to existing shareholders, up to an aggregate nominal amount of US\$4,706,690, representing approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, exclusive of treasury shares (and 4.69% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, inclusive of treasury shares), as at 7 June 2017, the latest practical date before publication of this notice.
The UK Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles also supports the annual disapplication of pre-emption rights in respect of allotments of shares and other equity securities, and sales of treasury shares for cash, representing no more than an additional 5% of issued ordinary share capital (exclusive of treasury shares), to be used only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment. The UK Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles defines "specified capital investment" as meaning one or more specific capital investment related uses for the proceeds of an issue of equity securities, in respect of which sufficient information regarding the effect of the transaction(s) and (where appropriate) the profits attributable to them, is made available to shareholders to enable them to reach an assessment of the potential return.
Accordingly, and taking into account the template resolutions published by the UK Pre-Emption Group in May 2016, the purpose of resolution 19 is to authorise the directors to allot equity securities (as defined in the Company's articles of association) wholly for cash, or sell treasury shares for cash, without offering those equity securities pro rata to existing shareholders, up to a further nominal amount of US\$4,706,690, representing approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, exclusive of treasury shares (and 4.69% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, inclusive of treasury shares), as at 7 June 2017, the latest practical date before publication of this notice, only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment or sale, or which has taken place in the preceding six-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue. If the authority given in resolution 19 is used, the Company will publish details of the placing in its next Annual Report.
In accordance with the UK Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles, the Board confirms its intention that no more than 7.5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (exclusive of treasury shares) will be issued for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis pursuant to the authority in resolution 18 during any rolling threeyear period other than with prior consultation with shareholders or in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment or which has taken place in the preceding six-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment.
If granted, the authorities in resolutions 18 and 19 will expire on the earlier of 19 October 2018 and the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2018.
The Board considers that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders generally that the Company should have the flexibility conferred by resolutions 18 and 19 to make small issues of shares for cash, as suitable opportunities arise.
It should be noted that the articles of association of the Company empower the directors to allot equity securities (as defined in the articles of association of the Company) wholly for cash in connection with a rights issue (as defined in the articles of association of the Company).
The purpose of resolution 20, which will be proposed as a special resolution, is to put in place a new authority to enable the Company to make market purchases of up to 94,133,811 ordinary shares, being approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital, exclusive of treasury shares, as at 7 June 2017. The Company's exercise of this authority is subject to the stated upper and lower limits on the price payable which reflect the requirements of the UK Listing Rules and the provisions of Article 57 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. The Company will only exercise the power of purchase after careful consideration and in circumstances where, in the light of market conditions prevailing at the time, it is satisfied that it is in the best interests of the Company and of its shareholders generally to do so and where there would be a resulting increase in earnings per share.
The Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 permits the Company to hold any shares purchased by it as treasury shares, as an alternative to immediately cancelling them. If the Company purchases any of its ordinary shares and holds them as treasury shares, the Company may sell these shares (or any of them) for cash, transfer these shares (or any of them) for the purposes of or pursuant to an employee share plan, cancel these shares (or any of them) or continue to hold them as treasury shares. Holding such shares as treasury shares allows the Company to reissue them quickly and cost effectively and provides additional flexibility in managing the Company's capital base. No dividends will be paid on, and no voting rights will be exercised in respect of, shares held as treasury shares.
As at 7 June 2017, the Company held 61,958,503 ordinary shares in treasury. If any ordinary shares are purchased by the Company, the directors intend to decide whether to cancel shares purchased pursuant to this authority or hold them as treasury shares based on the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole at the relevant time.
If granted, this authority will expire on the earlier of 19 October 2018 and the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2018.
As at 7 June 2017, there were options outstanding over 19,366,032 ordinary shares representing 2.06% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, at that date. If the full authority being sought under resolution 20 was utilised, so reducing the issued ordinary share capital by an equivalent amount, the figure of 19,366,032 would represent 2.29% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, at that date.
