RESULTS OF SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS
WYG is pleased to announce that at the Court Meeting and the
General Meeting of WYG Shareholders held earlier today in
connection with the recommended cash offer for the Company by Tetra
Tech UK Holdings Limited ("Tetra Tech"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Tetra Tech, Inc., to be effected by means of a Court-sanctioned
scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the
"Scheme"), the resolutions proposed were duly passed. Full details
of the resolutions are set out in the notices of the Court Meeting
and the General Meeting contained in the circular to WYG
Shareholders dated 3 June 2019 (the "Scheme Document").
At the Court Meeting, a majority in number of Scheme
Shareholders, who voted and were entitled to vote (either in person
or by proxy) and who together represented over 75 per cent. by
value of the votes cast, voted in favour of the resolution to
approve the Scheme. The resolution was accordingly passed. At the
General Meeting, the special resolution to provide for the
implementation of the Scheme was also passed by the requisite
majority.
COURT MEETING
The voting on the resolution to approve the Scheme was taken on

GENERAL MEETING
The voting on the special resolution to provide for the
implementation of the Scheme, the amendment to the Company's
articles of association and, subject to the Scheme becoming
effective in accordance with its terms, the re-registration of the
Company as a private limited company was taken on a poll and the
results were as follows:
Number of votes: For: 58,795,151 (99.99%); Against: 6,256
(0.01%).
Votes lodged to be cast at the Chairman's discretion have been
included in the 'Votes for' figures.
As at 26 June 2019, there were 73,335,165 ordinary shares in
issue. Votes withheld are not votes in law and so have not been
included in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and
against a resolution.
Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the
satisfaction or, if applicable, waiver of the other Conditions set
out in the Scheme Document, including the Court sanctioning the
Scheme at the Court Hearing which is expected to take place on 5
July 2019.
Defined terms used but not defined in this announcement have the
meaning given to them in the Scheme Document.
