* Special Resolutions requiring a 75% majority

 

The full text of the Special Resolutions is noted below:

13.  That, subject to the passing of Resolution 12 above, in substitution for all subsisting authorities to the extent unused, the Directors be generally authorised, pursuant to sections 570 and 573 of CA 2006, to allot equity securities (within the meaning of section 560 of CA 2006) for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 12, as if section 561(1) of CA 2006 did not apply to any such allotment, provided that:

 

(a)         such authority shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities in connection with an offer of equity securities:

 

i.       to the ordinary Shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and

ii.       to people who hold 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,

 

and so that the Directors may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which they consider necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter;

 

(b)        in the case of the authority granted under Resolution 12(a)(i) shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities for cash otherwise than pursuant to paragraph (a) up to an aggregate nominal amount of US$1,081,708;

(c)        following an allotment of equity securities being made pursuant to paragraph (b) (a "paragraph 13(b) allotment"), such authority shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities for cash otherwise than pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) up to a nominal amount equal to 20 per cent. of the nominal amount of that paragraph 13(b) allotment, provided that any allotment pursuant to this paragraph (c) is for the purposes of a follow-on offer determined by the directors to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of section 2B of the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of the notice of the meeting; and

(d)        such authority shall expire (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting) at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the date on which this resolution is passed (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2026), save that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of such offers and agreements as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.

This power applies in relation to a sale of shares which is an allotment of equity securities by virtue of section 560(3) of CA 2006 as if in the first paragraph of this Resolution the words "pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 12 in the notice of the meeting" were omitted.

14.  That, subject to the passing of Resolutions 12 and 13 above and in addition to any power given to them pursuant to Resolution 13, the Directors be generally empowered pursuant to sections 570 and 573 of CA 2006 to allot equity securities (as defined in CA 2006) for cash, pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 12 in the notice of the meeting as if section 561(1) of CA 2006 did not apply to the allotment. This power:

(a)     expires (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in a general meeting) at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the date on which this resolution is passed (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2026), but the Company may make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after expiry of this power and the Directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of that offer or agreement as if this power had not expired; and

(b)     in the case of the authority granted under Resolution 12(a)(i), shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities for cash up to an aggregate nominal amount of US$1,081,708 and provided that the allotment is for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the power is used within twelve months of the original transaction) a transaction which the directors 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 the notice of the meeting;

(c)     following an allotment of equity securities being made pursuant to paragraph (b) (a "paragraph 14(b) allotment"), shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities for cash otherwise than pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) up to a nominal amount equal to 20 per cent. of the nominal amount of that paragraph 14(b) allotment, provided that any allotment pursuant to this paragraph (c) is for the purposes of a follow-on offer determined by the Directors to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of section 2B of the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of the notice of the meeting;

This power applies in relation to a sale of shares which is an allotment of equity securities by virtue of section 560(3) of CA 2006 as if in the first paragraph of this resolution the words "pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 12 in the notice of the meeting" were omitted.

15.  That, in substitution for all subsisting authorities to the extent unused, the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorised to make market purchases (within the meaning of section 693(4) of CA 2006) of ordinary shares of US$0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") on such terms and in such manner as the Directors shall from time to time determine, provided that:

 

(a)     the maximum number of Ordinary Shares hereby authorised to be purchased is 108,170,816;

(b)     the minimum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for an Ordinary Share is the nominal value of an Ordinary Share at the time of such purchase;

(c)     the maximum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for an Ordinary Share shall be not more than the higher of (i) an amount equal to 105 per cent. of the average of the middle market quotations for an Ordinary Share (as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List) for the five business days immediately preceding the date on which that Ordinary Share is contracted to be purchased; and (ii) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an Ordinary Share and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out;

(d)     the authority hereby conferred shall expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company after the passing of this Resolution or 30 June 2026, whichever is the earlier (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed by the Company in a general meeting prior to such time); and

(e)     the Company may enter into a contract or contracts to purchase Ordinary Shares under this authority before the expiry of this authority and concluded in whole or in part after the expiry of this authority.

16.  That a general meeting of the Company, other than an annual general meeting, may be called on not less than 14 clear days' notice.

 

 

Notes

A 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and has not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.  Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chair have been included in the "for" column. 

The total number of shares on the register at the close of business on 20 May 2025, being those eligible to be voted on at the AGM, was 1,081,708,167.

This announcement is made pursuant to the requirements of UK Listing Rules 6.4.2 and 6.4.13. In accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2, copies of the resolutions that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

Further details of the resolutions (including the text of the resolutions) are given in the Notice of 2025 Annual General Meeting which is available on the Company's website. The results will also be made available on the Company's website: https://www.petershillpartners.com/homepage.html
