Annual General Meeting 2021- Change of Arrangements

The Company published its Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021 ('AGM Notice') on 18 March 2021 in respect of its Annual General Meeting ('AGM') to be held on Wednesday 21 April 2021 at 2.00pm. 

As anticipated at the time the AGM Notice was published, indoor public meetings will remain prohibited under the national lockdown restrictions at the date of the AGM. It will therefore now take place as a closed meeting with only the minimum number of persons present as is legally required to form a quorate meeting including a Company Director/Secretary and/or employee shareholders to meet the quorum requirements. One of them will be appointed as chair of the Meeting in accordance with the Company's articles of association. The attendance of these two people is "reasonably necessary for work purposes", and therefore permitted under the national lockdown restrictions as they are currently expected to be in force on Wednesday 21 April 2021. All social distancing precautions will be observed by the two persons who attend in person, and the duration of the Meeting will be minimised in accordance with government guidance. The attendance of any other Shareholder, proxy or corporate representative is prohibited under national lockdown restrictions currently expected to be in force in England at the date of the Meeting. No Shareholder, proxy or corporate representative should attend the Meeting in person, as doing so would be in breach of the national lockdown restrictions and potentially unsafe for them or the limited number of other persons in attendance. The chair of the Meeting expects to exercise his powers to exclude any person who attempts to do so, and they will not be permitted entry to the location of the Meeting

The time, date and venue of the AGM remain unchanged and the formal business to be conducted remains as set out in the AGM Notice.

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote by proxy on the resolutions contained in the AGM Notice. Shareholders are encouraged to appoint the "Chairman of the Meeting" as their proxy to vote on their behalf and in accordance with their instructions, rather than any other person since they will not be permitted to attend the meeting.

Shareholders can submit questions to the Board in advance of the AGM by email to [e-mail] by no later than 2.00pm on Tuesday 20 April 2021. The Company will consider all questions received and endeavour, if appropriate, to provide a written response. There is an investor presentation in relation to the 2020 Full Year Results in the Company's website at www.serco.com/investors/results-reports-events and shareholders are encouraged to review that in advance of the AGM.

Further information, including arrangements for asking questions, is set out on the Company's website, at  www.serco.com/investors/shareholder-information
