Tate & Lyle PLC
Update to the Notice of Annual
General Meeting 2024
Further to our announcement on 4 June
2024 (1075R) of the publication of our Annual Financial Report and
Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024, Tate & Lyle PLC ('the
Company' or 'Tate & Lyle') announces that it will seek approval
for an additional resolution at the Annual General Meeting and has
submitted a revised Proxy Form to shareholders for this
purpose. The revised Proxy Form has also been submitted
to the National Storage Mechanism and will
shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
Proxy Form - http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/4481T_1-2024-6-21.pdf
This revised form of proxy is being
sent to shareholders further to the announcement on 20 June 2024 of
the proposed combination of the Tate & Lyle and CP Kelco
businesses. A copy of our announcement of this transaction can be
found at our website: www.tateandlyle.com.
The Proposed Transaction constitutes
a Class 1 transaction for Tate & Lyle under the UK Listing
Rules and is, therefore, as at the date of this letter, conditional
on the approval of Tate & Lyle's shareholders. As
indicated by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), the UK
Listing Rules are expected to change in the coming weeks, such that
the requirement for a shareholder meeting to vote to approve a
Class 1 transaction would no longer apply.
At the present time, Tate & Lyle
requires the permission of its shareholders at a general meeting to
change the name of the Company. In
contemplation of the changes to the Listing Rules as set out above,
the Board proposes to amend the Company's Articles of Association
to permit the directors to change the name of the Company should
the Directors consider this to be appropriate following the
combination with CP Kelco.
Accordingly, the Directors have
reissued the proxy card for the above AGM with an additional
resolution seeking shareholder approval for this proposed amendment
to the Articles.
It is proposed that the following
resolution be passed as a special resolution:
Resolution 23: to add a new Article
127 to the Articles of Association as
follows:
127 CHANGE OF NAME The Company may
change its name by resolution of the board.
Accordingly, shareholders should
submit, or, if they have already voted, resubmit their votes using
the revised form of proxy.
The Annual General Meeting 2024 will
be held at the Royal College for Nursing, 20 Cavendish
Square, London, W1G 0RN at 10.30am on 25 July 2024.
The Annual Report 2024, Notice of
Annual General Meeting 2024, Notice of Availability, and Proxy Form
are also available on the Company's website: https://www.tateandlyle.com/news/2024-annual-report-and-notice-agm.
Mailing of the Annual Report 2024, Notice of Annual General Meeting
2024, Notice of Availability and Proxy Form to shareholders who

significant updates to our Annual General Meeting 2024
arrangements via a regulatory information service and on the
Investors Hub section of the Company's website.
