Notice of General Meeting for company name change to ZIGUP plc

Redde Northgate is calling a general meeting (the "General Meeting") for
Wednesday 15 May 2024 in order to approve a proposed company name change to
ZIGUP plc.

Background to proposed name change

Redde Northgate's corporate strategy has been focused on delivering
differentiated mobility solutions across the vehicle lifecycle, through an
integrated platform. Since 2020 we have achieved material cost savings and
operational efficiencies, new large contract wins and embracing new
opportunities including through six acquisitions that have delivered
meaningful value and enhanced capabilities.

 

We operate in-markets which are undergoing significant structural change,
including customers shifting to greater outsourcing, major technology
advancements in both vehicles and customer engagement, and a growing focus on
sustainability and low carbon energy transition. We help our customers 'move
smarter' and increasingly present more of our products and services as
packaged services, moving the thinking away from simple verticals such as van
hire and accident management.

 

Our new brand and company name, ZIGUP are allied to a refreshed strategic
framework under the new pillars of Enable, Deliver and Grow, and a recent
UK&I-focused management reorganisation, as we embrace the changing
environment in which we and our customers operate. Together these reflect the
strength and breadth of our current proposition as an enlarged group of
businesses, our continued focus on growth, and commitment to being a leading
provider of responsible and integrated mobility solutions and automotive
services. There will be no change to our well-recognised operational brands,
which have meaningful market profiles in their specialist areas.

 

The Board believes that a more modern brand and name reflecting these changes
will also help shift the narrative with all our stakeholders towards the
strategic direction of travel we set out.  This is aligned to our updated
purpose, 'to keep customers moving, smarter'.

 

If approved, the roll-out of the new brand will commence on 20 May 2024 with
legal registration of the name change by the UK Companies Registry expected to
occur no later than 25 May 2024. Further information on the new strategic
pillars, company name and brand are available on our website:
www.reddenorthgate.com.
