Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the directors of Pod Point (together the 'Directors' or the 'Board'), it gives me great pleasure to invite you to attend the 2023 AGM which, in line with our remote first philosophy in relation to meetings, will be held by means of a virtual meeting on Tuesday 13 June 2023 at 2.00pm.
The formal notice of the 2023 AGM (the 'Notice') is set out on pages 5 to 6 of this document, detailing the resolutions that the shareholders are being asked to vote on, with explanatory notes of the business to be conducted at the 2023 AGM on pages 10 to 11. Details of the arrangements for the AGM are set out on pages 7 to 9 and 18 to 19. The Board supports the principle that annual general meetings should provide shareholders with an opportunity to communicate with the Directors and will make every effort to allow shareholders to ask questions and speak with the Directors at the 2023 AGM and we look forward to welcoming your participation.
In the second half of 2022 EDF, the Company's majority shareholder EDF SA, notified the Board that it was replacing Deloitte as its joint auditor to the Group for FY2023 following a tender in accordance with French rotation requirements. Going forward for FY23 and beyond the joint auditors will be KPMG and PwC. A tender for the Pod Point audit was subsequently scheduled to enable operational efficiency from one of the joint auditors to be an option, and allow greater choice in professional services for EDF. Deloitte have accordingly not participated in the audit tender which is scheduled to complete at the end of June. In the meantime, Deloitte will continue as Pod Point's auditors and resolution 13 relates to their re-appointment.
The Directors believe that the resolutions set out in the Notice (the 'Resolutions') are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of all the Resolutions. The Directors who own Ordinary Shares intend to vote in favour of the Resolutions.
If I am appointed as proxy I will, of course, vote in accordance with any instructions given to me. If I am given discretion as to how to vote, I will vote in favour of each of the Resolutions.
The following is a brief summary of the business of the 2023 AGM:
In line with best corporate governance practice, voting on the business of the meeting will be conducted on a poll. I would encourage shareholders to exercise their right to vote in the following ways:
The results of voting on the Resolutions will be released by RNS and posted on the Company's website following the AGM. I look forward to welcoming you to the AGM.
Yours faithfully
Gareth Davis Non-executive Chair
Registered Office: 28-42 Banner Street, London, EC1Y 8QE, United Kingdom Company Number: 12431376
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of Pod Point Group Holdings plc (the 'Company') will be held at 2.00pm (UK time) on Tuesday 13 June 2023 by means of a virtual meeting to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass the following resolutions of which Resolutions 1 to 16 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions and Resolutions 17 to 18 will be proposed as special resolutions.
THAT, Deloitte LLP be re-appointed as auditors of the Company (the 'Auditors') to hold office until the conclusion of the next general meeting of the Company at which the accounts are laid before the Company.
THAT, the Audit & Risk Committee of the Company be authorised to agree the remuneration of the Auditors.
provided that the total amount of all such donations and expenditure made by all companies to which this authority relates shall not exceed £25,000. This authority shall expire at the close of the next annual general meeting of the Company or on 13 September 2024 (whichever is earlier). Words and expressions used in this resolution that are defined for the purpose of Part 14 of the Act shall have the same meaning for the purpose of this resolution.
By order of the Board
Anita Guernari Company Secretary

All Forms of Proxy should be returned together in the same envelope.

Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers, provided that if two or more representatives purport to vote in respect of the same shares:
You can also ask questions relating to the business of the AGM on the day of the AGM via www.web.lumiagm.com/173-197-928. This facility will not be available prior to the day of the AGM itself.
The Company is required to answer questions 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, or (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. For further details on how to ask questions at the meeting, please refer to pages 16 to 17 which provide a user guide for shareholders to ask questions remotely.
Throughout these notes, all references to 'the Act' are to the Companies Act 2006 (as amended).
Resolutions 1 to 16 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution. Resolutions 17 and 18 are proposed as special resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, at least three quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.
The first item of business is the receipt by shareholders of the audited accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 together with the Directors' Report and the Auditors' Report (the 'Annual Report').
Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval of the Annual Report on Remuneration for the year ended 31 December 2022, as set out on pages 93 to 103 of the Annual Report. The vote on this resolution is advisory in nature and Directors' remuneration is not conditional on the passing of this resolution.
In accordance with Provision 18 of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code (which requires that directors should seek re-election by shareholders on an annual basis) all of the Directors will seek re-election at the AGM. Separate resolutions are proposed for each of these re-elections.
The Board has reviewed the role of each of the Directors and remains satisfied that each of the Directors continues to have the skills and competence to carry out their responsibilities as a member of the Board and continues to make an effective and valuable contribution to the Board and demonstrates commitment to the role. Biographical details for the Directors standing for election and re-election are provided on pages 12 to 15 below.
Under the UK Listing Rules, EDF Energy Customers Limited is classed as a 'controlling shareholder' of the Company. This means that the independent Non-executive Directors of the Company must be re-elected by a majority of the votes cast by the independent shareholders of the Company, as well as by a majority of the votes cast by all the shareholders. The concept of the independent shareholders of the Company means all the shareholders of the Company other than EDF Energy Customers Limited and its associates. Therefore, the resolutions for the re-election of the independent Non-executive Directors (Resolutions 7 to 12) will be taken on a poll and the votes cast by the independent shareholders and by all the shareholders will be calculated separately. Such resolutions will be passed only if a majority of the votes cast by the independent shareholders are in favour, in addition to a majority of the votes cast by all the shareholders being in favour. If the ordinary resolution to approve the re-election of an existing independent Director is passed, but separate approval by the independent shareholders is not given, the Listing Rules permit an existing independent Director to remain in office pending a further ordinary resolution of all the shareholders to approve the re-election of that Director. Such a resolution may only be voted on within the period of between 90 days and 120 days following the date of the original vote. The Company will, on announcing the results of the AGM, announce, in respect of Resolutions 7 to 12, the result of both the vote of all the Company's shareholders and the vote of the independent shareholders. If separate independent shareholder approval is not given for any relevant resolution, the Company intends that the relevant Director's appointment will continue for 120 days from the date of the original vote, unless a further ordinary resolution for reelection is passed. If a further resolution to approve the re-election of the relevant Director is defeated, his or her appointment will cease on that resolution being defeated.
None of the independent Non-executive Directors seeking re-election or election at the 2023 AGM has any existing or previous relationship, transaction or arrangement with the Company, the other Directors, any controlling shareholder of the Company or any associate of a controlling shareholder of the Company, within the meaning of Listing Rule 13.8.17R (1) other than as disclosed below.
The Company is required, at each general meeting at which accounts are presented, to appoint auditors to hold office until the conclusion of the next such meeting and Deloitte LLP has advised its willingness to stand for re-appointment. The Audit and Risk Committee have evaluated the performance of Deloitte LLP. The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, recommends there-appointment of Deloitte LLP as auditors to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company (the 'Auditors').
This resolution seeks shareholder consent for the Audit & Risk Committee of the Company to set the remuneration of the Auditors.
It is not proposed or intended to alter the Company's policy of not making political donations, within the normal meaning of that expression. However, it may be that some of the Company's activities may fall within the potentially wide definition of a political donation in the Act and, without the necessary authorisation, the Company's ability to communicate its views effectively to political audiences and to relevant interest groups could be inhibited. Such activities may include briefings at receptions or conferences – when the Company seeks to communicate its views on issues vital to its business interests – including, for example, conferences of a party political nature or of special interest groups in specific areas. Accordingly, the Directors believe that the authority contained in this resolution is necessary to allow it (and its subsidiaries) to fund activities which it is in the interests of shareholders to support. The authority will enable the Company and its subsidiaries to be sure that they do not, because of any uncertainty as to the bodies or the activities covered by the Act, unintentionally commit a technical breach of the Act. Any expenditure which may be incurred under authority of this resolution will be disclosed in next year's annual report.
Under the Act, the directors of a company may only allot new shares (or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares) if authorised to do so by the shareholders in a general meeting. The authority proposed under Resolution 16 will allow the Directors to allot new shares and to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares up to a nominal value of
£51,375, which is equivalent to one third of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, as at 14 April 2023, being the last practicable date before publication of this Notice. The Company does not currently hold any of its Ordinary Shares in treasury.
The Directors have no present intention to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares pursuant to this authority. However, the Directors consider it desirable to have the flexibility to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place in appropriate circumstances. Given the Company's current capital structure, the Directors do not consider it necessary to seek the additional authority to allot up to a total of approximately 66% of the total issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company, in connection with a rights issue, as permitted by the guidance of the Investment Association.
If this resolution is passed the authority will expire on the conclusion of the next annual general meeting or at 6.00 p.m. on 13 September 2024, whichever is the earlier.
The effect of this resolution is to renew the authority granted to the Company to purchase its own Ordinary Shares, up to a maximum of 15,412,512 Ordinary Shares until the earlier of the next Annual General Meeting and 6.00 p.m. on 13 September 2024. This represents 10% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company excluding treasury shares as at 14 April 2023, being the last practicable date before publication of this Notice and the Company's exercise of this authority is subject to the stated upper and lower limits on the price payable.
Pursuant to the Act, the Company can hold the shares which have been repurchased as treasury shares and either resell them for cash, cancel them, either immediately or at a point in the future, or use them for the purposes of its employee share schemes. The Directors believe that it is desirable for the Company to have this choice and therefore intend to hold any shares purchased under this authority as treasury shares. Holding the repurchased shares as treasury shares will give the Company the ability to resell or transfer them in the future, and so provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. No dividends will be paid on, and no voting rights will be exercised in respect of, treasury shares.
The Directors have no present intention of exercising the authority to purchase Ordinary Shares but will keep the matter under review. The authority will only be used after careful consideration, taking into account market conditions prevailing at the time, other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels and the overall financial position of the Company. The authority will be exercised only if the Directors believe that to do so would be likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole.
Any purchases of ordinary shares would be by means of market purchases through the London Stock Exchange. Shares held as treasury shares will not automatically be cancelled and will not be taken into account in future calculations of earnings per share (unless they are subsequently resold or transferred out of treasury). If any shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury and used for the purposes of its employee share schemes, the Company will count those shares towards the limits on the number of new shares which may be issued under such schemes.
As at 14 April 2023, being the last practicable date before publication of this Notice, there were no options or warrants outstanding to subscribe for shares in the Company.
Resolution 17 will be proposed as a special resolution.
The Act requires that the notice period for general meetings of the Company should be 21 days unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days. The Company is currently able to call general meetings (other than an annual general meeting) on 14 clear days' notice and would like to preserve this ability. In order to be able to do so, shareholders must have approved the calling of meetings on 14 clear days' notice. This approval will be effective until the Company's next annual general meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. In the event that a general meeting is called on less than 21 clear days' notice, then the Company will meet the requirements for electronic voting under section 8 of the Companies (Shareholders' Rights Regulations) 2009 in order to be able to call a general meeting on 14 clear days' notice. CREST voting will be permitted to fulfil these requirements.
The Company will not use the authority to call a general meeting on 14 clear days' notice as a matter of routine, and only in circumstances where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting, the proposals are time-sensitive or where it would be to the advantage of the members as a whole and moreover where the proposals are not of a complexity that might require more time for consideration by members.
Resolution 18 will be proposed as a special resolution.
