MITIE GROUP PLC ("Mitie")
Passed on 26 July 2017
At the Annual General Meeting of Mitie duly convened and held at UBS, 5 Broadgate, London, EC2M 2QS on 26 July 2017 at 11.30am, the following resolutions were passed:
SPECIAL BUSINESS – ORDINARY RESOLUTION
Resolution 13 – Directors' authority to allot shares
That, in substitution for any equivalent authorities and powers granted to the Directors prior to the passing of this resolution, the Directors be generally and unconditionally authorised pursuant to s551 of the Act to exercise all the powers of Mitie to allot shares in Mitie, and grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in Mitie (such shares, and rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares of Mitie being "Relevant Securities"):
a) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £3,001,210; and
b) comprising equity securities (as defined in Section 560(1) of the Companies Act 2006) up to a further aggregate nominal amount of £3,001,210 in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue,
provided that (unless previously revoked, varied or extended) this authority shall expire on the earlier of 30 September 2018 and the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Mitie, except that Mitie may at any time before such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require Relevant Securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot Relevant Securities in pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
For the purposes of this resolution, 'rights issue' means an offer to:
- (i) ordinary shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and
- (ii) people who are holders of other equity securities if this is required by the rights of those securities or, if the Directors consider it necessary, as permitted by the rights of those securities,
to subscribe for further securities by means of the issue of a renounceable letter (or other negotiable instrument) which may be traded for a period before payment for the securities is due, but subject to such exclusions 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.
SPECIAL BUSINESS – SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS
Resolution 14 – General authority to disapply pre-emption rights
That, subject to the passing of resolution 13, the Directors be generally authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in s560 of the Act) of Mitie wholly for cash pursuant to the authority of the Directors under s551 of the Act conferred by resolution 13 above (in accordance with s570(1) of the Act) and/or by way of a sale of treasury shares (in accordance with s573 of the Act), in each case as if s561(1) of the Act did not apply to such allotment, provided that the authority conferred by this resolution shall be limited:
a) to the allotment of equity securities in connection with an offer of, or invitation to apply for, equity securities to the holders of ordinary shares in the capital of Mitie in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to their respective holdings of such shares but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements or any legal, regulatory or practical problems arising under the laws or requirements of any overseas territory or by virtue of shares being represented by depository receipts or the requirements of any regulatory body or any stock exchange or any other matter whatsoever; and
b) otherwise than pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) above, to the allotment of equity securities to any person or persons up to an aggregate nominal value equal to £450,181,
and unless previously revoked, varied or extended, this authority shall expire on the earlier of 30 September 2018 and the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Mitie, except that Mitie may before the expiry of this authority make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
Resolution 15 – Additional authority to disapply pre-emption rights for the purposes of acquisitions and capital investments
That, subject to the passing of resolution 13, in addition to any authority granted under resolution 14, the Directors be generally authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in s560 of the Act) of Mitie wholly for cash pursuant to the authority of the Directors under s551 of the Act conferred by resolution 14 above (in accordance with s570(1) of the Act) and/or by way of a sale of treasury shares (in accordance with s573 of the Act), in each case as if s561(1) of the Act did not apply to such allotment, provided that the authority conferred by this resolution shall be limited:
- a) to the allotment of equity securities and/or sale of Treasury shares for cash up to and aggregate nominal amount of £450,181 calculated, in the case of equity securities which are rights to subscribe for, or covert securities into, ordinary shares by reference to the aggregate nominal amount of relevant shares which may be allotted pursuant to such rights; and
- b) used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within six months after the original transaction) a transaction which the directors of the Company determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre Emption Group prior to the date of this notice,
and unless previously revoked, varied or extended, this authority shall expire on the earlier of 30 September 2018 and the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Mitie, except that Mitie may before the expiry of this authority make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
