Capita plc ("the Company")
Publication of 2024 Annual Report and
Circular and Notice of 2025 Annual General Meeting
Capita plc announced its results for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the
Full Year Results Announcement) on 5 March 2025. Further to the Full Year
Results Announcement, the Company is pleased to confirm that the Annual Report
and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the 2024 Annual Report)
has been published on the Company's website.
In addition, Capita has today published a circular to shareholders (the
Circular) in relation to the proposals first announced in the Full Year
Results Announcement, detailing the Board's proposals to:
- optimise the structure of the Company's balance sheet and
enhance the Company's ability to return value to shareholders at the
appropriate time in the future by cancelling the entire amount standing to the
credit of the Company's share premium account (the Share Premium Reduction);
and
- consolidate the existing ordinary shares in the Company
(the Share Consolidation) at a ratio of 15 for 1, which would involve every 15
ordinary shares of 2 1/15 pence held by a shareholder being consolidated into
one ordinary share of 31 pence.
The Circular also contains the Notice of the Company's 2025 Annual General
Meeting (the 2025 AGM Notice) to be held at 10.30 a.m. on Monday 28 April 2025
at the Storey Club, 4 Kingdom Street, Paddington, London W2 6BD. The 2024
Annual Report and the Circular have been published on the Company's website,

Circular.
The Circular provides shareholders with further information about the
background to, and reasons for, the Share Premium Reduction and the Share
Consolidation, as well as containing details of the requisite Court approval
process relating to the Share Premium Reduction.
An expected timetable of key events for the Share Premium Reduction and Share
Consolidation is set out at the end of this announcement. Further detailed
information on the expected timetable is set out in the Circular.
Full details of the business of, and arrangements for, the Annual General
Meeting (including voting procedures) are contained in the 2025 AGM Notice.
