TP ICAP Group plc Registered in Jersey no. 130617
12 March 2024
On behalf of the Board I am pleased to invite you to attend the Annual General Meeting (or 'AGM') of TP ICAP Group plc (the 'Company'), which will be held in person. We are delighted to be holding a physical general meeting and meet shareholders again. The AGM will be held at the offices of Allen & Overy LLP, One Bishops Square, London, E1 6AD on Wednesday 15 May 2024 at 2.15pm (BST).
The formal Notice of AGM is set out on the following pages of this document, detailing the resolutions that the shareholders are being asked to vote on along with explanatory notes of the business to be conducted at the AGM. The views of our shareholders are important to us and the AGM offers a valuable opportunity for shareholders to communicate with the Directors and ask questions on the business of the meeting. We welcome your participation.
If you are unable to attend the AGM in person we urge you to submit your voting instructions in advance of the meeting by appointing a proxy. You are encouraged to appoint the Chair of the AGM as your proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, vote and speak at the AGM. Information about how and when to submit your proxy instructions can be found overleaf and on page 9.
Shareholders are reminded that TP ICAP Group plc declared an interim dividend of 4.8p per share paid on 3 November 2023. The Board is recommending a final dividend of 10.0p for each ordinary share held in TP ICAP Group plc and this requires shareholder approval before it can be paid. This final dividend recommendation is in line with our distribution policy announced to the market in October 2020.
The Remuneration Committee of the Board is seeking shareholders' approval of the Report of the Remuneration Committee (excluding the excerpts from the Directors' Remuneration Policy set out within the Report of the Remuneration Report on pages 115 to 117 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts) for the year ended 31 December 2023 (the 'Remuneration Committee Report'). The Remuneration Committee Report includes an annual report detailing the remuneration of the Directors and a statement by the Chair of the Remuneration Committee. The Company will seek shareholder's approval on the contents of the Remuneration Committee Report (as defined above) on an annual basis. The vote is an advisory one and the Directors' entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on it.
Following the approval of the Directors' Remuneration Policy at the 2022 AGM, we are not presenting a new or revised Directors' Remuneration Policy to a shareholder vote at the 2024 AGM. The full Directors' Remuneration Policy can be found on pages 127 to 134 of the 2021 Annual Report, which is available to view on the Company's website. It is intended that the Directors' Remuneration Policy will remain in force until the 2025 AGM, when the policy is due for renewal.
During the year the structure, size and composition of the Board and its Committees, was kept under constant review. As a part of the review attention was given to the application of the changes made to the UK Listing Rules in relation to gender and ethnic diversity targets, and diversity is considered in its broadest sense, not just in respect of gender, but also age, experience, ethnicity and geographical expertise. On 30 May 2023 Louise Murray stepped down from the Board, and on 31 October 2023 Edmund Ng retired from the Board after six years with the Group. The Board would like to thank Louise and Edmund for their contribution to the Board during their respective tenures and much appreciates the insights, challenge and advice that they have been able to bring to the debate. On 1 September 2023 the Board were pleased to appoint Amy Yip, who will stand for election by shareholders at the 2024 AGM. Amy was appointed following a thorough and robust search process, as detailed on page 95 of the Nominations & Governance Committee report in the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts. The Board's membership continues to meet the UK Listing Rules and FTSE Women Leaders guidelines on gender and ethnicity diversity.
Each of the Directors of the Company will seek election or re-election as a Director at the AGM, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code. The Nominations & Governance Committee has carefully considered the combination of knowledge, skills, diversity, experience and background of the members of the Board and considers that this mix remains appropriate to respond to the challenges presented to it, and to promote TP ICAP's future long-term sustainable success. The composition and size of the Board will remain under review by the Committee, who will make recommendations as necessary.
The Nominations & Governance Committee has also reviewed each individual's independence and commitment of time to the Company in light of their other commitments. The Committee has concluded that the Directors have sufficient time to commit to their roles and are not considered overboarded. Each of the six Non-executive Directors continue to be considered independent and the Board Chair was deemed independent on appointment. The Board is pleased to recommend all Directors who are seeking election and re-election at the AGM in 2024, and their full biographies can be found in Appendix 1 to this Notice of AGM on pages 11 to 15.
Your vote is important to us. Voting on the business of the AGM will be conducted by way of a poll. The results of voting on the resolutions will be made available by regulatory news announcement and on the Company's website as soon as practicable after the AGM. Whether or not you propose attending the AGM, we encourage you to register your proxy electronically. The website for electronic proxy appointment is www.signalshares.com.

If I am given discretion as to how to vote, I will vote in favour of each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM as recommended by the Directors.
This Notice of AGM and the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 are published on our website www.tpicap.com.
The Directors believe that the resolutions set out in the Notice of AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of all of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM. The Directors who own ordinary shares intend to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.
Yours faithfully
Board Chair
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of TP ICAP Group plc (the 'Company') will be held at the offices of Allen & Overy LLP, One Bishops Square, London, E1 6AD on Wednesday 15 May 2024 at 2.15pm (BST) to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass the following resolutions of which Resolutions 1 to 17 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions and Resolutions 18 to 22 will be proposed as special resolutions.
provided that the aggregate amount of any such donations and expenditure shall not exceed £100,000 during the period beginning with the date of the passing of this resolution and ending at the conclusion of the next AGM of TP ICAP Group plc or, if earlier, the close of business on 1 July 2025.
For the purpose of this resolution, the terms 'political donations', 'political parties', 'independent election candidates', 'political organisations' and 'political expenditure' have the meanings set out in sections 363 to 365 of the UK Companies Act 2006.
That:
(a) in accordance with article 6 of the Company's Articles of Association (the 'Articles'), the Directors be authorised to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company:
That:
(a) in accordance with article 8 of the Company's Articles of Association (the 'Articles') subject to the passing of Resolution 17, the Directors be given power to allot equity securities for cash and/or to sell shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if article 7(b) of the Articles did not apply to such allotment or sale;
By order of the Board.
Group Company Secretary TP ICAP Group plc 12 March 2024
Registered in Jersey No. 130617 Registered Office: Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE48PX

The notes on the following pages give an explanation of the proposed Resolutions. Resolutions 1 to 17 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. For each of these Resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the Resolution. Resolutions 18 to 22 are proposed as special resolutions. For each of these 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 the shareholders on an advisory basis of the Annual Report and Accounts of TP ICAP Group plc for the year ended 31 December 2023 (the '2023 Annual Report and Accounts'). The Directors' Report, the accounts and the report of the Company's auditors on the accounts and on those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report that are capable of being audited are contained within the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts. The 2023 Annual Report and Accounts can be found on the Company's website at https://tpicap.com/tpicap/investors/reports-and-presentations.
The Remuneration Committee of the Board is seeking shareholders' approval of the Report of the Remuneration Committee (excluding the excerpts from the Directors' Remuneration Policy set out within the Report of the Remuneration Report on pages 115 to 117 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts) for the year ended 31 December 2023 (the 'Remuneration Committee Report'), which will be proposed as an ordinary resolution.
The Report of the Remuneration Committee includes an annual report detailing the remuneration of the Directors and a statement by the Chair of the Remuneration Committee. The Company will seek shareholders' approval on the contents of the Report of the Remuneration Committee on an annual basis. The vote is an advisory one.
Shareholders are asked to approve the final dividend payable for each ordinary share of 25p each held. The Board recommends the payment of a final dividend of 10.0p per ordinary share. This final dividend recommendation is consistent with our distribution policy announced to the market in October 2020, maintaining a full year dividend cover of approximately 2x underlying earnings.
Subject to approval by shareholders, the final dividend will be paid on 24 May 2024 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 12 April 2024. The final dividend cannot be more than the amount the Directors recommend (which is 10.0p per ordinary share).
In accordance with Provision 18 of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018, Amy Yip, having been appointed to the Board since the 2023 AGM, stands for election by shareholders. All other Directors will submit themselves for annual re-election by shareholders.
Biographical details of each of the Directors in office as at the date of this Notice of AGM, who are seeking election or re-election, appear in Appendix 1 to this Notice of AGM on pages 11 to 15. It is the Board's view that this information illustrates why each Director's contribution is, and continues to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success. The Board believes that each Director standing for election or re-election brings considerable and wide-ranging skills and experience to the Board as a whole, and makes an effective and valuable contribution to the deliberations of the Board.
A formal performance evaluation of individual Directors was carried out during 2023, as detailed on page 93 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts. After this process the Board is satisfied that each individual proposed for election or re-election has continued to perform effectively and demonstrates commitment to their role.
The Board carries out a review of the independence of its Directors on an annual basis. In considering the independence of the independent Non-executive Directors proposed for election, the Board has taken into consideration the guidance provided by the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018 (as amended). Accordingly, the Board considers each of the Non-executive Directors to be independent in accordance with Provision 10 of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018.
The auditors of a company must be appointed or reappointed at each general meeting at which the accounts are laid. Resolution 14 proposes, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee and Board and following completion of an audit tender process, the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC ('PwC') as the Company's auditors, until the conclusion of the next general meeting of the Company at which accounts are laid.
Pages 104 to 105 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts describes how the Audit Committee assessed the effectiveness, independence, and performance of the external auditor for the 2023 year-end. Further details on the audit tender process completed and considerations taken by the Audit Committee and Board when making the recommendation that PwC be appointed as the Company's auditor for the 2024 year-end are shown on page 105 of the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts, and page 95 of the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts. Both the 2022 and 2023 Annual Report and Accounts can be found on the Company's website at https://tpicap.com/tpicap/investors/reports-and-presentations.
This Resolution seeks shareholder consent for the Audit Committee of the Company to set the remuneration of the auditors.
Though there are no restrictions on political donations under Jersey law, the Company is seeking this authority as a matter of good governance and in line with best practice. It is the Company's policy not to make contributions to any political party, and at present, there is no intention to make donations to any political party or to incur any political expenditure. Shareholder approval is therefore being sought on a precautionary basis only. As for the prior year, during 2023 no political donations were made by the Company.
The authority in paragraph (a)(i) will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares up to approximately one third (33.3%) of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company (exclusive of treasury shares) which as at 12 March 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of AGM, is equivalent to a nominal value of £64,312,145.25.
The authority in paragraph (a)(ii) will allow the Directors to allot, including the shares referred to in paragraph (a)(i), further of the Company's shares in connection with a pre-emptive offer by way of a rights issue up to a nominal value of £128,624,290.50 which is equivalent to approximately two thirds (66.6%) of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company, excluding treasury shares, as at 12 March 2024.
As at 12 March 2024, the Company held 16,925,189 shares in treasury, which represent 2.19% of the total number of ordinary shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, at that date.
The authority being sought renews the authority given to Directors of TP ICAP Group plc at the 2023 AGM and is in line with the Share Capital Management Guidelines issued by the Investment Association ('IA'). The IA Guidelines state that, in addition to directors' requests for authorisation to allot new shares in an amount up to one-third of a company's existing issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares (as proposed in paragraph (a) of Resolution 17), the IA will regard as routine any requests to authorise the allotment of shares in an amount up to a further one-third (as proposed in paragraph (b) of Resolution 17), provided that any shares allotted in an amount exceeding one-third are used solely for a rights issue and that the authority is only valid until the next AGM.
There are no present plans to allot new shares other than in connection with employee share and incentive plans. The Directors consider it desirable to have the maximum flexibility permitted by corporate governance guidelines to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place to finance business opportunities as they arise. If they do exercise this authority, the Directors intend to follow best practice as regards its use, as recommended by the IA. During 2023 no shares were allotted under the authority granted at the 2023 AGM. The Directors do intend to utilise the authorities granted at the 2023 AGM, and 2024 AGM if approved, to allot new shares under a block listing application to be submitted in March 2024. The new shares will be used from time to time solely to satisfy awards granted under the Company's approved employee share and incentive schemes.
If the Resolution is passed, the authority will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company or, if earlier, at the close of business on 1 July 2025.
References in Resolution 17 to the nominal amount of rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares (including where such rights are referred to as equity securities) are to the nominal amount of shares that may be allotted pursuant to the rights.
Resolution 18 deals with the authority of the Directors to allot new shares or other equity securities (pursuant to the authority given by Resolution 17), or sell treasury shares, for cash without the shares or other equity securities first being offered to shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. The authority sought is in line with institutional shareholder guidance and the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles issued in 2015 (the '2015 Pre-Emption Group Principles'). Like at the 2023 AGM, at its 2024 AGM the Company is not seeking to utilise the revised disapplication authority available under the updated Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles issued on 4 November 2022.
Such authority shall only be used in connection with a pre-emptive offer, or otherwise, up to an aggregate nominal amount of £9,646,821.75, being approximately 5% of the total issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, of the Company as at 12 March 2024.
The 2015 Pre-emption Group Principles 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, to be used only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment. The 2015 Pre-emption Group Principles defines 'specified capital investment' as meaning one or more specific capital investment-related uses for the proceeds of an issuance of equity securities, in respect of which sufficient information regarding the effect of the transaction on the Company, the assets that are the subject of the transaction 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 in line with the template resolutions published by the Pre-emption Group in accordance with the 2015 Pre-Emption Group Principles, Resolution 19 seeks to authorise the Directors to allot new shares and other equity securities pursuant to the authority given by Resolution 17, or sell treasury shares, for cash up to a further nominal amount of £9,646,821.75 being approximately 5% of the total issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, of the Company as at 12 March 2024, only 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 issue. The authority granted by Resolution 19 would be in addition to the general authority to disapply pre-emption rights under Resolution 18. The maximum nominal value of equity securities which could be allotted if both authorities were used would be £19,293,643.50 which represents approximately 10% of the issued share capital, excluding treasury shares, of the Company as at 12 March 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice).
If these Resolutions are passed, the authorities will expire at the end of the next AGM or at the close of business on 1 July 2025, whichever is the earlier. The Board considers the authorities in Resolutions 18 and 19 to be appropriate in order to allow the Company flexibility to finance business opportunities or to conduct a rights issue or other pre-emptive offer.
The Board intends to adhere to the provisions in the 2015 Pre-emption Group Principles and not to allot shares for cash on a non-preemptive basis in excess of an amount equal to 7.5% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company within a rolling three-year period (other than in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment) without prior consultation with shareholders. The intended allotment of new shares detailed on page 7 of this Notice will be within the above stated thresholds. During 2023 the authorities granted at the 2023 AGM were not utilised.
The effect of Resolution 20 is to authorise the Company to purchase its own ordinary shares, up to a maximum of 77,174,574 ordinary shares, until the AGM in 2025 or at the close of business on 1 July 2025, whichever is the earlier. This represents 10% of the ordinary shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, as at 12 March 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice. The Company's exercise of this authority is subject to the stated upper and lower limits on the price payable.
Pursuant to the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, the Company can hold any shares which are purchased as treasury shares and either sell them, cancel them, transfer them for the purposes of or under an employees' share scheme or hold the shares without cancelling, selling or transferring them. Holding the repurchased shares as treasury shares will give the Company the ability to re-sell or transfer them in the future and will 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. 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 re-sold or transferred out of treasury).
The Directors consider it desirable and in the Company's interests for shareholders to grant this authority, and remain mindful of the IA Share Capital Management guidelines in force at any time. The Directors intend to exercise this authority only when conditions are favourable with a view to enhancing earnings per share of the ordinary share capital in issue after the purchase and accordingly they believe that the purchase is in the interests of the shareholders. Since the 2023 AGM the Company has exercised the authorities granted at the 2023 AGM to complete a buyback programme of £30m from August 2023 to January 2024 in which the Company bought back 16,925,189 shares. The Directors also intend to exercise this authority for a second share buyback programme of £30m commencing on 12 March 2024 in order to reduce the capital of the Company and/or meet obligations under employee share schemes. The buybacks highlight the Board's confidence in the future prospects of TP ICAP, reflect its strong financial position, and is consistent with its dynamic capital management strategy, which is a key priority. This means reducing the Group's debt, and returning surplus capital to shareholders, subject to our ongoing investment needs and balance sheet requirements. As at 12 March 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice, there were no outstanding warrants or options to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company and the Company held 16,925,189 treasury shares.
Under Jersey law, a company requires shareholder approval to hold shares in treasury. For any shares held in Treasury, the Company will remain mindful of the IA Share Capital Management guidelines in force at any time.
Under the Articles the minimum notice period permitted for general meetings of the Company is 21 clear days. However, shareholders can approve a shorter notice period for general meetings that are not AGMs which cannot be less than 14 clear days. AGMs will be held on at least 21 clear days' notice. The shorter notice period authorised by this resolution, if passed, would not be used as a matter of routine for such meetings, but only in circumstances where the Directors consider that the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is to the advantage of shareholders as a whole. Shareholder approval will be effective until the Company's next AGM, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.
