("TAM" plc or the "Company")

Notice of AGM

Tatton Asset Management plc (AIM: TAM), the investment management and IFA support services group, announces that its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held on Tuesday, 30 July 2024 at 11:00am at the offices of DWF Law LLP of 1 Scott Place, 2 Hardman Street, Manchester, M3 3AA.

Special Resolutions 17 and 18 in the Notice of AGM - Historic Dividends

During the recent Audit the Board became aware of technical compliance issues with the Companies Act 2006 in respect of the payment of a number of historic dividends paid by the Company. The issues relate to four Interim Dividends, those paid from 18 December 2020 to 8 December 2023 inclusive, and one Final Dividend paid on 28 July 2021.  While the Company did have sufficient distributable reserves in the case of all the dividend payments, the Interim Dividends were paid before the interim accounts had been filed with Companies House. In the case of the Final Dividend, the distributable reserves calculation had been completed across the Group rather than the Company and there had been insufficient distributable profits transferred to the Company when the payment was made. Both issues were rectified as soon as they were identified.

Accordingly, in addition to the routine business proposed at the AGM, the Notice of AGM contains two special resolutions 17 and 18 which the Board is recommending shareholders approve in order to put the past and present shareholders who received the Dividends and the Directors of the Company, as far as possible, into the position in which they were always intended to be.

Full background details to these resolutions are set out in the Notice of the AGM.

Copies of the Annual Report the Notice of AGM have been distributed to shareholders and can be viewed on the Company's website at:

The Board of Directors continues to encourage shareholders, where possible, to exercise their votes by appointing the Chairman of the meeting as proxy and to give instructions on how they wish the Chairman to vote on the proposed resolutions. This will ensure that votes will be counted if ultimately they (or any other proxy appointed) are not able, or do not wish, to attend the AGM in person.

The Board recognises the importance of the AGM to shareholders and is proposing to allow shareholders the opportunity to raise any issues or concerns arising from the business proposed to be conducted at the meeting. Appropriate questions on the business of the meeting should be emailed to [e-mail] before 6.00pm on 29 July 2024 and responses will be posted on the Company's website, www.tattonassetmanagement.com, on the morning of the AGM.
