LONDON, United Kingdom, March 24

Capita plc ("the Company")
Publication of 2024 Annual Report and
Circular and Notice of 2025 Annual General Meeting
Capita plc announced its results for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the Full Year Results Announcement) on 5 March 2025. Further to the Full Year Results Announcement, the Company is pleased to confirm that the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the 2024 Annual Report) has been published on the Company's website.
In addition, Capita has today published a circular to shareholders (the Circular) in relation to the proposals first announced in the Full Year Results Announcement, detailing the Board's proposals to:
- optimise the structure of the Company's balance sheet and enhance the Company's ability to return value to shareholders at the appropriate time in the future by cancelling the entire amount standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account (the Share Premium Reduction); and
- consolidate the existing ordinary shares in the Company (the Share Consolidation) at a ratio of 15 for 1, which would involve every 15 ordinary shares of 2 1/15 pence held by a shareholder being consolidated into one ordinary share of 31 pence.
The Circular also contains the Notice of the Company's 2025 Annual General Meeting (the 2025 AGM Notice) to be held at 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday 28 April 2025 at the Storey Club, 4 Kingdom Street, Paddington, London W2 6BD. The 2024 Annual Report and the Circular have been published on the Company's website, www.capita.com.
Definitions in this announcement have the same meanings as those in the Circular.
The Circular provides shareholders with further information about the background to, and reasons for, the Share Premium Reduction and the Share Consolidation, as well as containing details of the requisite Court approval process relating to the Share Premium Reduction.
An expected timetable of key events for the Share Premium Reduction and Share Consolidation is set out at the end of this announcement. Further detailed information on the expected timetable is set out in the Circular.
Full details of the business of, and arrangements for, the Annual General Meeting (including voting procedures) are contained in the 2025 AGM Notice.
This announcement is not a substitute for reading the Circular or 2025 AGM Notice in full.
The 2024 Annual Report and the Circular are being posted to shareholders today. Shareholders will receive these in two separate envelopes. Shareholders who have elected not to receive hard copy documents will receive a letter or email from the Company advising that the above listed documents are available.
In compliance with Listing Rule 6.4.1, a copy of the above documents have been uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk.#nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
