TClarke Notice of Annual General Meeting 8th May 2015


Notice of AGM - Ordinary resolutions

  1. That the directors be and are hereby generally and unconditionally authorised, in place of any such authorities previously granted, all of which are hereby revoked and cancelled to the extent not previously utilised, to exercise all powers of the Company to allot shares or to grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company in accordance with Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 up to an aggregate nominal amount of £817,043 provided that this authority shall expire at the close of the next annual general meeting of the Company save that the Company may 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 offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.

Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 provides that the directors of a company cannot issue new shares in its capital without the approval of the shareholders. Accordingly, the purpose of this resolution is to give the directors of the Company authority to issue new shares in the capital of the Company up to a maximum amount of £817,043 (being the lower of the unissued share capital and 30% of the issued share capital) which is approximately equivalent to 20% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 2nd April 2014. This resolution will allow the directors of the Company flexibility to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders by issuing new shares in appropriate circumstances, although the directors have no present intention to exercise the authority. The number of treasury shares held by the Company as at the date of this notice is nil. The directors intend to seek renewal of the authority and powers set out in resolution 10 at each AGM.

Special resolutions

Special resolutions

  1. That subject to the passing of resolution 11, the directors be and are hereby empowered pursuant to Section 570 of the Companies Act 2006 to allot equity securities (within the meaning of Section 560 of the Companies Act 2006 as if Section 561 of the Companies Act 2006 did not apply to any such allotment) provided that this power shall be limited:

(i) to the allotment of equity securities in connection with a rights or capitalisation issue in favour of ordinary shareholders where the equity securities respectively attributable to the interests of all ordinary shareholders are proportionate (as nearly as may be) to the respective members' numbers of ordinary shares held by them but subject to such exclusions as the directors may consider appropriate to deal with fractional entitlements of holders of the shares or legal or practical problems in or under the laws of any territory outside the United Kingdom or any regulatory body or stock exchange; and

(ii) to the allotment (otherwise than pursuant to subparagraph (i) above) of equity securities up to an aggregate nominal value of £209,147 (being 5 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company).

The power granted by this resolution shall expire at the close of the next annual general meeting of the Company save that the Company may before such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted in pursuance of such offer or agreement as if the power conferred hereby had not expired and further provided that this power shall be in substitution for any previous power granted to the directors; provided that Sections 560 and 574 of the Companies Act 2006 apply for the interpretation of this resolution.

If shares are to be allotted by the Company, Section 561 of the Companies Act 2006 requires that except to the extent disapplied by shareholders, those shares be offered first to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. However it may sometimes be in the interest of the Company for the directors to have greater flexibility.

TClarke Notice of Annual General Meeting 8th May 2014


Notice of AGM - Special resolutions

This resolution would allow the directors to allot shares by way of a rights issue or bonus or capitalisation issue and further to allot shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £209,147 being 5% of the Company's issued share capital as at the date of this notice. The authorities sought and the limit set by this resolution will also apply to any sale or transfer of treasury shares. The directors consider it prudent to have the flexibility to buy back shares into treasury and to be able to subsequently sell or transfer them if appropriate. This will enable them to act on short notice in appropriate circumstances should that be in the best interest of the Company. The directors intend to seek renewal of the authority and powers set out in resolution 12 at each AGM.

  1. That pursuant to Article 49 of the Articles of Association of the Company but notwithstanding Article 49 (C), the Company is generally and unconditionally authorised for the purposes of Section 701 of the Companies Act 2006 to make market purchases (within the meaning of Section 693(4) of the Companies Act 2006) of ordinary shares of 10p each in the capital of the Company ('Ordinary Shares') provided that:

(a) the maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares hereby authorised to be purchased is 4,182,957 (representing 10% of the Company's issued Ordinary Share capital);
(b) the minimum price, exclusive of any expenses, which may be paid for an Ordinary Share is 10p;
(c) the maximum price, exclusive of any expenses, which may be paid for an Ordinary Share is an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market quotations for an Ordinary Share derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the 10 business days immediately preceding the date on which such Ordinary Share is contracted to be purchased;
(d) unless previously renewed, varied or revoked, the authority conferred shall expire at the close of the next annual general meeting of the Company or twelve months from the date of this resolution, if earlier; and

(e) the Company may make a contract for the purchase of Ordinary Shares under this authority before the expiry of this authority which would or might require to be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of such authority, and may make purchases of Ordinary Shares in pursuance of such a contract as if such authority had not expired.

This resolution seeks authority for the Company to buy back its own shares in a manner consistent with the Articles of Association.

This resolution would be limited to 4,140,167 shares representing 10% of the Company's issued share capital. The minimum and maximum prices to be paid for the shares are stated in the resolution. Any shares purchased in this way may be cancelled and the number of shares in issue would be reduced accordingly, or they may be held as treasury shares, which may then be cancelled, sold for cash or used to meet the Company's obligations under any Employees' Share Schemes from time to time. The directors consider it prudent to have the flexibility to buy back shares into treasury and to be able to subsequently sell or transfer them if appropriate, if the transaction were to increase the earnings per share and be in the best interests of shareholders generally. The purchase of shares by the Company under this authority would be effected by purchase in the market. It should not be confused with any share dealing facilities that may be offered to shareholders by the Company from time to time. The directors intend to seek renewal of the authority and powers set out in resolution 13 at each AGM.

Appointment of proxies

  1. If you are a member of the Company at the time set out in Note 1 above, you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM and you should have received a proxy form with this notice of the AGM. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the proxy form.
  2. If you are not a member of the Company but you have been nominated by a member of the Company to enjoy information rights, you do not have a right to appoint any proxies under the procedures set out in this “Appointment of proxies” section. Please read the section “Nominated persons” below.
  3. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the AGM to represent you. Details of how to appoint the Chairman of the AGM or another person as your proxy using the proxy form are set out in the notes to the proxy form. If you wish your proxy to speak on your behalf at the AGM you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the Chairman) and give your instructions directly to them.
  4. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share. To appoint more than one proxy, please refer to the proxy form Explanatory Notes.

  5. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the AGM.

Appointment of proxy using hard copy proxy form

  1. The notes to the proxy form explain how to direct your proxy how to vote on each resolution or withhold your vote.

To appoint a proxy using the proxy form, the form must be:
- completed and signed;
- sent or delivered to Capita Asset Services at PXS1, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4ZF; and
- received by Capita Asset Services no later than 10am on Wednesday 6th May 2015.

In the case of a member which is a company, the proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company.

Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form.

Appointment of proxies through CREST

  1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the AGM and any adjournment(s) thereof by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

TClarke Notice of Annual General Meeting 8th May 2014


Notice of AGM - Notes

In order for a proxy appointment 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 & Ireland Limited's (EUI) specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message must be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID - RA10) by Wednesday 6th May 2015 at 10am. 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 to the proxy by other means. For further information on CREST procedures, limitations and systems timings, please refer to the CREST Manual. In all cases, for a proxy form to be valid, the CREST Voting Service information must be received by the Company's registrars no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI 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(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) 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.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

Appointment of proxy by joint members

  1. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).

Changing proxy instructions

  1. To change your proxy instructions simply submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) also apply in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.

Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard-copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy proxy form, please contact Capita Asset Services at PXS1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4ZF. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.

Termination of proxy appointments

  1. In order to revoke a proxy instruction you will need to inform the Company by sending a signed hard copy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to Capita Asset Services at PXS1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4ZF. In the case of a member which is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice.

TClarke Notice of Annual General Meeting 8th May 2014


Notice of AGM - Notes

The revocation notice must be received by Capita Asset Services no later than 10am on 6th May 2015.

If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified then, subject to the paragraph directly below, your proxy appointment will remain valid.

Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the AGM and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the AGM in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.

Corporate representatives

  1. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of the same powers as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.

Issued shares and total voting rights

  1. As at 12 noon on 2nd April 2015 the Company's issued share capital comprised 41,829,577 ordinary shares of 10p each. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company and therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 12 noon on 2nd April 2015 is 41,829,577.

Questions at the AGM

  1. Under Section 319A of the Companies Act 2006, the Company must answer any question you ask relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM unless:

  2. answering the question would interfere unduly with the preparation for the AGM or involve the disclosure of confidential information;

  3. the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or
  4. it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the AGM that the question be answered.

Website publication of audit concerns

  1. Pursuant to Chapter 5 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 (sections 527 to 531), where requested by either:

  2. a member or members having a right to vote at the AGM and holding at least 5% of total voting rights of the Company; or

  3. at least 100 members having a right to vote at the AGM and holding, on average, at least £100 of paid up share capital;

the Company must publish on its website, a statement setting out any matter that such members propose to raise at the AGM relating to the audit of the Company's accounts (including the auditors' report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the AGM.

Where the Company is required to publish such a statement on its website:

  • it may not require the members making the request to pay any expenses incurred by the Company in complying with the request;
  • it must forward the statement to the Company's auditors no later than the time the statement is made available on the Company's website; and
  • the statement may be dealt with as part of the business of the AGM.

A member wishing to request publication of such a statement on the Company's website must send the request to the Company using one of the following methods:

  • in hard copy form addressed to The Company Secretary at TClarke plc, 45 Moorfields, London EC2Y 9AE - the request must be signed by you and please quote your investor code in the letter for authentication purposes - this can be found on your dividend tax voucher, your share certificate or on your proxy voting form;
  • by e-mail to [email protected] (please quote your investor code in the email for authentication purposes). This can be found on your dividend tax voucher, your share certificate or on your proxy voting form.

TClarke Notice of Annual General Meeting 8th May 2014


Notice of AGM - Notes

Whichever form of communication is chosen, the request must:

  • either set out the statement in full or, if supporting a statement sent by another member, clearly identify the statement which is being supported; and
  • be received by the Company at least one week before the AGM.

Nominated persons

  1. If you are a person who has been nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (Nominated Person):

You may have a right under an agreement between you and the member of the Company who has nominated you to have information rights (Relevant Member) to be appointed or to have someone else appointed as a proxy for the AGM.

If you either do not have such a right or if you have such a right but do not wish to exercise it, you may have a right under an agreement between you and the Relevant Member to give instructions to the Relevant Member as to the exercise of voting rights.

Your main point of contact in terms of your investment in the Company remains the Relevant Member (or, perhaps, your custodian or broker) and you should continue to contact them (and not the Company) regarding any changes or queries relating to your personal details and your interest in the Company (including any administrative matters). The only exception to this is where the Company expressly requests a response from you.
