The Transaction constitutes a Class 1 transaction for Capita under the Listing

convening an extraordinary general meeting of Capita to be held at 11:00 a.m.

As set out in the Notice of General Meeting, in the interests of health and
safety, shareholders (and any appointed proxies (other than the chairman of
the General Meeting) or corporate representatives) will not be permitted to
attend the General Meeting in person. Shareholders are encouraged to vote
electronically on the resolution proposed as soon as possible by appointing
the chairman of the General Meeting as their proxy. An online facility for
