Meeting notes

  1. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM. Shareholders are able to complete and return a form of proxy in accordance with the procedures set out below in order to vote in advance of the AGM. Arrangements have also been made to allow shareholders to submit questions to the Board in advance of the AGM (see note 8). Shareholders may appoint one or more persons other than the Chairman of the AGM to be their proxy to exercise their rights at the AGM and such a proxy need not also be a shareholder of Mitie. However, shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy, which will ensure their votes are cast in accordance with their wishes, even if the shareholder, or any other person they might appoint as proxy, is unable to attend the meeting in person. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares (so a shareholder must have more than one share to be able to appoint more than one proxy).

A shareholder may only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes. Mitie is not distributing a hard copy form of proxy unless specifically requested and shareholders are encouraged to vote electronically. The methods available to appoint a proxy are set out below:

  • a. requesting a hard copy form of proxy from Mitie's Registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets, via email at [email protected]. mufg.com or on 0371 664 0300 and returning the completed form of proxy, and any power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed (or a duly certified copy of any such power or authority) to MUFG Corporate Markets, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL; or
  • b. completing the online form of proxy via the Mitie shareholder portal (www.mitie-shares.com). If you have not previously registered to use the shareholder portal, you will first be asked to register as a new user, for which you will require your investor code (which can be found on your share certificate and dividend confirmation), family name and postcode (if resident in the United Kingdom); or
  • c. MUFG Corporate Markets has launched a shareholder app: VOTE+. It's free to download and use and gives shareholders the ability to access their shareholding record at any time and allows users to submit a proxy appointment quickly and easily online.

The app is available to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, or by scanning the relevant QR code on page 2; or

  • d. if you are an institutional investor, appoint your proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by Mitie and approved by Mitie's Registrar. Before appointing a proxy through Proxymity, 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. Further information in relation to Proxymity is available at www.proxymity.io; or
  • e. in the case of CREST members, using the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with note 5 below, and in each case the proxy must be received by MUFG Corporate Markets no later than 11.30 am on 18 July 2025 (or, in the case of an adjournment, not less than 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day) before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting).
    1. If you are a person who has been nominated by a shareholder to enjoy information rights in accordance with s146 of the Act, you do not have the right to appoint a proxy but you may have a right under an agreement between you and the shareholder by whom you were nominated to be appointed, or to have someone else appointed, as a proxy for the meeting. If you have no such right or do not wish to exercise it, you may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.
    1. Mitie, pursuant to Part 13 of the Act and to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended), specifies that only those shareholders registered in the register of members of Mitie at close of business on 18 July 2025 (or if the meeting is adjourned, two working days before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Any changes to the register of members after such time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting or adjourned meeting.
    1. In the case of joint holders of shares, the vote of the first named in the register of members of Mitie who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of other joint holders.
    1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting or any adjourned meeting by following the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available at www.euroclear.com). CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's ("Euroclear") specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message (regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy) must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA10) by the latest time for receipt of proxy appointments specified in note 1 above. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to a proxy appointed through CREST should be communicated by other means. CREST members (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsor or voting service providers) should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST proxy instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. Mitie may treat as invalid a CREST proxy instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001(as amended).

Meeting notes continued

    1. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
    1. 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.
    1. Any member attending the meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but 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) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered. Shareholders and their proxies will have the opportunity to ask questions in advance of the AGM. Shareholders may submit questions to the Board in advance of the AGM via email to [email protected].
    1. As at 3 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) Mitie's issued share capital consisted of 1,261,540,940 Ordinary Shares carrying one vote each, 5,190,020 Ordinary Shares were held in treasury and accordingly the total voting rights in Mitie as at 3 June 2025 were 1,256,350,920.
    1. A copy of this Notice, and all other information required by s311A of the Act, can be found on Mitie's website (www.mitie. com/investors/ shareholder-information/).
    1. Under s527 of the Act members meeting the threshold requirements set out in that section have the right to require Mitie to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to: (i) the audit of Mitie's accounts (including the auditor's report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the meeting; or (ii) any circumstance connected with an auditor of Mitie ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with s437 of the Act, that the members propose to raise at the meeting. Mitie may not require the shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with s527 or 528 of the Act. Where Mitie is required to place a statement on a website under s527 of the Act, it must forward the statement to Mitie's auditor not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the AGM includes any statement that Mitie has been required under s527 of the Act to publish on a website.
    1. Copies of the following documents are available for inspection at Level 12, The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street, London SE1 9SG by appointment during normal business hours on Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) from the date of this Notice until the conclusion of the AGM: (a) Executive Directors' service contracts with Mitie and any of its subsidiary undertakings; (b) letters of appointment of the Non-Executive Directors; and (c) the proposed new Articles of Association and a copy of the existing Articles of Association marked to show the changes being proposed in resolution 18. Should a shareholder wish to inspect any of these documents, please submit your request to [email protected]. The new Articles of Association have also been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.mitie.com.
    1. You may not use any electronic address provided in this Notice to communicate with Mitie for any purposes other than those expressly stated.
    1. As soon as practicable after the AGM the results of voting will be announced via a regulated information service and made available on Mitie's website (www.mitie.com/ investors/shareholder-information/).

Explanatory notes to AGM resolutions

Approval of resolutions

Resolutions passed as 'ordinary resolutions' require more than 50% of votes cast to be in favour of the resolution. Resolutions passed as 'special resolutions' require 75% or more of votes cast to be in favour of the resolution.

Annual Report and Accounts (resolution 1)

The Directors of Mitie must present the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 to the meeting.

Directors' Remuneration Report (resolution 2)

All UK quoted companies are required by law to produce, for each financial year, a Directors' Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration and benefits paid to Directors during the year. You can find this report on pages 124 to 137 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025. An ordinary resolution to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report must be put to shareholders at the meeting at which the annual report and accounts for that year are laid. As in past years, this vote will be advisory and does not affect the future remuneration paid to any Director.

This approval will exclude the Directors' remuneration policy (the "Policy"), which is subject to a separate binding vote every three years. The Policy was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 23 July 2024, and therefore remains valid until the 2027 annual general meeting (subject to any changes being proposed prior to that date, or to the advisory vote on the annual implementation report on Directors' remuneration not being passed). No changes are proposed to be made to the Policy this year. The Policy is available on Mitie's website (www.mitie.com/investors/corporate-governance).

Dividend declaration (resolution 3)

A final dividend can only be paid following approval by shareholders at a general meeting. A final dividend of 3.0p per ordinary share is recommended by the Directors for payment to shareholders who are on the register as at close of business on 20 June 2025 . If approved, the date of payment of the final dividend will be 4 August 2025. An interim dividend of 1.3p per ordinary share was paid to shareholders on 4 February 2025.

Annual re-election and election of Directors (resolutions 4 to 12)

The UK Corporate Governance Code recommends that all Directors of FTSE 350 companies seek re-election by shareholders on an annual basis. Derek Mapp has served as Chairman of the Board since 2017 and will not be seeking re-election at the upcoming AGM. Christopher Rogers, who was appointed to the Board as Chair Elect in March 2025, will stand for election at the AGM to succeed Derek Mapp as Chairman. All other Directors currently in office will seek re-election at the AGM. Separate resolutions will be proposed for each re-election or election. The corporate governance statement, on pages 90 to 112 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025, provides further details on the review of Board composition and performance conducted by the Board. As part of this evaluation the Board has considered the performance of each Director seeking re-election. The Board has concluded that each Non-Executive Director is independent in character and judgement and confirms that each Director makes an effective and valuable contribution to the Board and demonstrates clear commitment to the role. The Board believes that the individual skills and experience of each Director contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Board in promoting the long-term sustainable success of the Company.

The table on page 109 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 sets out how each Director's individual skills and experience contribute to the balance required by the Board. Further information is provided in each Directors' biography in Appendix 1 at the end of these explanatory notes and on pages 92 to 94 of the Annual Report and Accounts.

Re-appointment of auditor (resolution 13)

Resolution 13 proposes the re-appointment of BDO LLP as auditor of Mitie until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which accounts are laid. Mitie 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. BDO LLP have indicated their willingness to continue as Mitie's auditor and the Audit Committee, which has evaluated the effectiveness and independence of the external auditor, has recommended to the Board that BDO LLP be proposed for reappointment. Resolution 13 is, therefore, to re-appoint BDO LLP as auditor for the financial year ending 31 March 2026.

The Competition and Markets Authority Order introduced mandatory audit tendering every ten years. This requirement is kept under review by the Audit Committee. During the year ended March 2018, Mitie tendered its external audit services and concluded that BDO LLP be appointed as external auditor. There are no contractual obligations which restrict the choice of auditor.

Remuneration of auditor (resolution 14)

Resolution 14 authorises the Audit Committee (on behalf of the Board) to fix the auditor's remuneration.

Political donations (resolution 15)

Resolution 15 concerns Part 14 of the Act which provides that political donations made by a company to political parties, to other political organisations and to independent election candidates or political expenditure incurred by a company must be authorised in advance by its shareholders. Mitie's long-standing policy of not making any political donations will continue. However, it is possible that certain routine activities (including charitable donations) undertaken by Mitie might unintentionally fall within the wide definition of payments constituting political donations and expenditure as set out in the Act. This resolution, if passed, will grant the Directors the relevant statutory authority until the 2026 annual general meeting subject to a total aggregate cap for Mitie and its subsidiary companies of £50,000.

Directors' authority to allot shares (resolution 16)

The Directors may only allot shares or grant rights over shares if authorised to do so by shareholders. This authority is renewed at every annual general meeting and accordingly this resolution authorises the Directors to allot additional shares or grant rights over shares until the earlier of 30 September 2026 and the next annual general meeting. The authority will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares up to a nominal value of £3,140,877.30, which is equivalent to approximately 10% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, as at 3 June 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice). This is materially below the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines issued in July 2016 and updated in February 2023. There are no current plans to exercise this authority, however, the Directors believe that they should have this authority to respond to market developments and to enable such allotments to take place to finance business opportunities as they arise. Mitie holds 5,190,020 treasury shares as at 3 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), representing approximately 0.41% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares). The power will be limited to a nominal value of £3,140,877.30, which is equivalent to 10% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) of Mitie as at 3 June 2025.

To authorise the Company to purchase own shares (resolution 17)

The Act permits a company to purchase its own shares provided that the purchase has been authorised by shareholders in a general meeting. In certain circumstances, it may be advantageous for Mitie to purchase its own shares and this resolution seeks the authority from shareholders to continue to do so.

The Directors will continue to exercise this power only when, in light of market conditions prevailing at the time, they believe that the effect of such purchases is in the best interests of shareholders generally. Other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels and the overall position of Mitie will be taken into account when exercising this authority. Any purchase of shares would be by means of market purchases through the London Stock Exchange. As an alternative to cancellation, Mitie may hold in treasury any of its own shares that it purchases pursuant to the Act and the authority conferred by this resolution. This gives Mitie the ability to re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost-effectively and provides Mitie with greater flexibility in the management of its capital base. It also gives Mitie the opportunity to satisfy employee share scheme awards with treasury shares. Once held in treasury, Mitie is not entitled to exercise any rights, including the right to attend and vote at meetings, in respect of the shares.

Further, no dividend or other distribution of Mitie's assets may be made to Mitie in respect of the treasury shares. This resolution specifies the maximum number of ordinary shares that may be acquired (excluding treasury shares) as at 3 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) and the maximum and minimum prices at which they may be bought. The authority will expire on the earlier of 30 September 2026 and the next annual general meeting.

On 16 April 2025, Mitie announced the commencement of a share buyback programme in respect of its ordinary shares up to a maximum consideration of £125m (the "FY26 Share Buyback Programme"). Within the FY26 Share Buyback Programme we will purchase and hold c.6m shares in treasury to fulfil the 2022 Save As You Earn (SAYE) scheme (vesting in February 2026), and cancel all other shares purchased in excess of this within the programme. As at the latest practicable date, 3 June 2025, 2m ordinary shares have been purchased at an average price of 140p. The Board will keep the FY26 Share Buyback Programme under review, considering the timing of value-creating acquisitions, and in order to maintain leverage within our target range.

In order to execute the FY26 Share Buyback Programme, Mitie has entered into an initial instruction with Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel") in relation to the purchase by Peel, acting as principal during the period commencing on 16 April 2025 and ending no later than 31 March 2026 of ordinary shares for an aggregate consideration (excluding expenses) of no greater than £125m and the simultaneous on-sale of such shares by Peel to Mitie.

Peel makes its trading decisions concerning the timing of the purchases of Mitie's ordinary shares independently of, and uninfluenced by, Mitie. The programme is being conducted within certain pre-set parameters, and in accordance with the general authority to purchase shares granted by shareholders at the 2024 AGM (and the authority which is being sought at this AGM).

To authorise the Company to adopt new Articles of Association (resolution 18)

Under resolution 18, the Company proposes to adopt new Articles of Association (the "New Articles") in substitution of its existing Articles of Association (the "Existing Articles"). The purpose of the proposed amendments is to reflect the latest changes to the company law and market practice. The principal changes are summarised below (certain changes, which are of a minor, technical or clarifying nature, have not been noted) and any capitalised terms that are not defined shall have the meaning given to them in the New Articles:

(a) Untraced shareholders (Article 72)

The New Articles modify the provisions relating to untraced shareholders, being shareholders who are no longer in communication with the Company and have not claimed dividend payments for a specified period of time. In line with market practice, the New Articles reduce the period of time that must elapse before the Company is entitled to sell the shares of an untraced shareholder from twelve years to six years, during which time at least three dividends in respect of the shares in question have become due for payment and no dividend in respect of those shares have been claimed by the relevant shareholder. The Company's right to sell such shares is still conditional upon: (i) a notice (in hard copy or electronic form) first being sent to the relevant shareholder's last known address following the six-year period; and (ii) the expiration of three further months following such notice being served, during which period the relevant shareholder has not contacted the Company.

The New Articles also provide that, following the sale of such shares, the sale proceeds shall be forfeited and belong to the Company. The Company shall be entitled to use such proceeds for the Company's benefit or in any manner that the Directors may think fit. The requirement for the Company to apply the sale proceeds to a separate bank account and act as a debtor to such member or other person in respect of such moneys has been removed.

(b) Method of payment of dividends (Article 133)

In line with current market practice, the New Articles provide greater discretion for Directors to choose the method of payment of dividends, and other moneys payable in relation to shares. This includes making such payments by way of electronic payment.

(c) Uncashed dividends (Article 134)

The New Articles clarify that the Company's right to cease sending dividends to shareholders if the dividend is left "uncashed" or is returned to the Company on two consecutive occasions also applies to circumstances where electronic payment has failed.

(d) Unclaimed dividends (Article 135)

The New Articles clarify that unclaimed dividends, once forfeited, shall belong to the Company and the Company shall be entitled to use such dividends for the Company's benefit or in any manner that the Directors think fit. The New Articles also provide that the same applies to any uncashed or unclaimed dividends in respect of shares forfeited by an untraced shareholder in accordance with Article 72 (Power of sale).

(e) Non-executive directors' fees (Article 89)

To ensure sufficient headroom in the aggregate cap on non-executive directors' fees per annum, the New Articles increase the aggregate non-executive directors' fees that may be paid to non-executive directors from £750,000 to £1,000,000.

(f) General

The New Articles contain amendments of a minor, technical or clarifying nature, and the opportunity has been taken to update definitions and clarify minor inconsistencies. The New Articles also reflect current statutory and regulatory rules, and redundant provisions have been removed.

Notice of general meetings (resolution 19)

The notice period required by the Act for general meetings of Mitie is 21 clear days unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period which cannot, however, be less than 14 clear days. At the annual general meeting held on 23 July 2024 , shareholders authorised the calling of general meetings, other than an annual general meeting, on not less than 14 clear days' notice, and it is proposed that this authority be renewed. The approval will be effective until Mitie's next annual general meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. The Board will only utilise the authority to hold meetings on less than 21 clear days' notice where, taking into account the circumstances, and noting the recommendations of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024, the Directors consider this appropriate in relation to the business of the meeting and in the best interests of shareholders as a whole.
