Exercise of settlement option
Capita plc (‘Capita’)
Further to the announcement on 12 December 2025 regarding the transition
agreement for the remaining two closed book Life & Pensions contracts, with
its last client, Royal London’s legacy business, Capita confirms that the
settlement option pursuant to that agreement has been exercised.
Under the terms of the settlement option, The Royal London Mutual Insurance
Company Limited will receive 5,670,909 ordinary shares, representing
approximately 4.96% of the Group’s issued share capital, in settlement of
Capita's obligation to make an initial payment of approximately £22.47m. As
noted in the announcement on 12 December, the newly issued shares will be
subject to customary lock-up arrangements during the migration period, which
is expected to be five years.
An application is being made to the Financial Conduct Authority and the London
Stock Exchange for a total of 5,670,909 ordinary shares of 31 pence each to be
admitted to the Official List and for trading on the Main Market for listed
securities. Admission is expected to occur on or around 18 December 2025. When
issued, the shares will rank pari passu with Capita’s existing ordinary
shares.
