Result of AGM

 

At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Mitie Group plc (Mitie), held on 26 July 2017, all the resolutions put to the meeting were passed.  The details of the votes cast are shown in a table below.  The full text of each of the resolutions is shown in the Notice of the AGM, which is available on our website at www.mitie.com.   The total of votes cast was 267,509,427 representing 72.05% of Mitie's issued share capital.
 

Mitie acknowledges that, whilst the following resolutions were passed, a high number of votes were received against each of them:

 

Resolution 13, in relation to Directors' authority to allot shares;

 

Resolution 14, in relation to a general authority to disapply pre-emption rights; and

 

Resolution 15, which sought additional authority to disapply pre-emption rights in connection with the financing of an acquisition or specified capital investment, limited to the equivalent of 5% of Mitie's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares).

 

A process of shareholder consultation has commenced and Mitie will continue to engage with those shareholders who either withheld their vote, or voted against these resolutions, to improve understanding and, if possible, allay any such concerns for the future.

 

Mitie further acknowledges that resolution 10, in relation to the reappointment of Deloitte LLP as external auditor, was passed but with a high number of votes received against it, as well as withheld.  Mitie has announced that it is undertaking a tender process during July, August and September 2017, and will announce a new external auditor in due course.

 

Copies of all special resolutions have been submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will shortly be made available for inspection on the National Storage Mechanism at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do.
