KIER GROUP PLC
Update to the Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024
Further to our announcement on 4 October 2024 (0282H) of the publication of our Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024 (the "AGM"), Kier Group plc (the "Company") announces that it will seek approval for an additional resolution at the AGM and has submitted a revised Form of Proxy to shareholders for this purpose. In compliance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.3 and Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 6.3.5, the revised Form of Proxy has also been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
This revised Form of Proxy is being sent to shareholders in order to include an additional resolution at the AGM, so that the payment of a final dividend of 3.48 pence per ordinary share (the "Dividend") can be considered by shareholders for approval, consistent with the stated intention in the announcement of the results of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024 (published on 12 September 2024). Due to an administrative error, the necessary resolution relating to the Dividend payment was omitted from the Notice of AGM and related Form of Proxy that were sent to shareholders on 4 October 2024. It is proposed that the following resolution be passed as an ordinary resolution:
Resolution 21
To declare a final dividend of 3.48 pence per ordinary share of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Accordingly, shareholders should submit, or, if they have already voted, resubmit, their votes for all resolutions using the revised Form of Proxy or one of the electronic voting methods set out in the Form of Proxy. To be valid, your completed revised Form of Proxy or online voting instruction must have been received by 10.00 a.m. on Tuesday, 12 November 2024.
The AGM will be held at 10.00 a.m. on Thursday, 14 November 2024 at Linklaters LLP, One Silk Street, London, EC2Y 8HQ. The Annual Report 2024, Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024 and revised Form of Proxy are available on the Company's website www.kier.co.uk.
