WINCANTON PLC

("Wincanton" or the "Company")

 

Block Listing Application

 

An application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and
the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") for 1,437,048 ordinary shares of 10 pence
each in the Company (the "Shares") to be admitted to the Official List of the
FCA and admitted to trading on the premium segment of the LSE's main market
for listed securities (the "Admission").

 

The Shares will be issued pursuant to the vesting and exercise of awards for
nil consideration under the Wincanton plc Deferred Share Bonus Plan, Wincanton
plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2018, Wincanton plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2020
and Wincanton plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2023, in each case, conditional on
the sanction by the High Court of Justice in England and Wales (the "Court")
of the proposed scheme of arrangement to be made between the Company and its
shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 pursuant to which GXO
Logistics, Inc. will acquire the entire issued, and to be issued, share
capital of the Company (the "Scheme"). As previously announced by the Company,
the sanction of the Scheme is expected to be obtained on 25 April 2024
following a hearing before the Court.

 

When issued, the Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing
issued shares. It is expected that the Admission will become effective on 23
April 2024. Following the Admission, the Company's issued share capital will
comprise 125,980,718 ordinary shares of 10 pence each. This figure may be used
by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or any change in
their interest in the Company, under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency
Rules.

 

This notification is provided in accordance with paragraph 3.5.5R of the FCA's
Listing Rules and paragraph 5.6.1A of the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency
