The Board notes that at today's AGMs the following resolution passed with a less than 80% majority: resolution 38 (political donations).

Commenting on the less than 80% vote received for authority to make political donations and to incur political expenditure

As set out in the notices to the AGMs, Investec 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 Investec plc and any company which is or becomes a subsidiary of Investec plc does not inadvertently breach the relevant provisions of the UK Companies Act.

Other information

As at the date of the AGMs, Investec plc's issued capital consists of 696,082,618 ordinary shares of GBP0.0002 each and Investec Limited's issued capital consists of 308,907,870 ordinary shares of ZAR0.0002 each. In accordance with the dual listed companies' structure, the aggregate number of voting rights which may be exercised at the AGMs was 1,004,990,488.

Votes withheld are not votes in law and have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chair have been included in the 'for' total.

Document regarding Resolutions passed at the Shareholder Meetings on 04 August 2022:

  • Copies of all resolutions passed as special business at the Shareholder Meetings on 04 August 2022, pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.2, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection athttps://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
