Commenting on the less than 80% vote received for authority to
make political donations and to incur political expenditure
As set out in the notice of AGM, NCC Group plc does not give any
money for political purposes in the UK nor does it make any
donations to UK political organisations or incur UK political
expenditure. However, the definitions of political donations and
political expenditure used in the UK Companies Act 2006 are very
wide. In line with UK market practice, the authority is therefore
requested only as a precautionary measure to ensure that NCC Group
plc and any company which is or becomes a subsidiary of NCC Group
plc does not inadvertently breach the relevant provisions of the UK
Companies Act.
Notes:
1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the chairman
of the meeting have been included in the 'For' total.
2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in
the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" a
resolution, nor in the calculation of "total votes cast" for any
resolution.
3. The issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the
AGM was 313,488,589 ordinary shares.
4. The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice
of Annual General Meeting which is available for inspection at the
National Storage Mechanism www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm and on the
Company's website.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions
passed as special business of the meeting will be uploaded to the
National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm .
