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.
