REG-Capita PLC: Publication of Circular and Notice of General Meeting

Capita plc

(“Capita” or the “Company”)

Publication of Circular and Notice of General Meeting

On 21 June 2021, Capita and the Cabinet Office announced their agreement to
dispose of their shareholdings in AXELOS Limited (“AXELOS”) to PeopleCert
International Limited (the “Disposal”). AXELOS is owned by Capita (51 per
cent. interest) and the Cabinet Office (49 per cent. interest).

The Disposal constitutes a Class 1 transaction for Capita under the Listing
Rules and is therefore conditional upon, amongst other things, the approval of
Capita shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

Capita is pleased to announce that a shareholder circular in relation to the
Disposal (the “Circular”) has been published today, having received
approval from the Financial Conduct Authority. The Circular will be sent to
Capita shareholders (other than those who have elected or who have been deemed
to have elected for notification by electronic communication) shortly.

The Circular contains further information on the Disposal and a notice
convening an extraordinary general meeting of Capita to be held at 10.30 a.m.
on 15 July 2021 at Linklaters LLP, One Silk Street, London EC2Y 8HQ (the
“General Meeting”).

As set out in the Notice of General Meeting, the well-being of our
Shareholders and employees is vitally important to Capita and, while it is
possible for Shareholders to attend the General Meeting in person in
accordance with the latest Government guidance, Shareholders are strongly
encouraged not to attend the General Meeting in person unless considered
absolutely necessary and Shareholders are instead encouraged to either attend
and vote by electronic means or vote by proxy on the Resolution. Shareholders
are able to attend the General Meeting electronically by accessing the General
Meeting website: https://web.lumiagm.com. Full details of how to participate
electronically in the General Meeting are set out in the Notice of General
Meeting.

Copies of the following documents have been submitted to the National Storage
Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism:

-  Circular

-  Notice of General Meeting

These documents will also be available to view on the Company’s website at
http://www.capita.com/investors/shareholder-information/gm-shareholder-questions
from the date of this announcement up to and including the date of the General
Meeting.
