Annual General Meetings – Mondi Limited and Mondi plc
As part of the dual listed company structure, Mondi Limited and Mondi plc notify both the JSE
Limited and the London Stock Exchange of matters required to be disclosed under the Listings
Requirements of the JSE Limited and/or the Disclosure and Transparency and Listing Rules of the
United Kingdom Listing Authority.
The Annual General Meetings of Mondi Limited and Mondi plc were both held on 12 May 2016. As
required by the dual listed company structure, all resolutions were treated as Joint Electorate
Actions and were decided on a poll. All resolutions at both meetings were passed. The voting
results of the Joint Electorate Actions are identical and are given below. Overall in excess of
76% of the total Group shares were voted.
The directors have noted that the votes against resolutions 20, 21, 22, 31 and 32 were higher
than for other resolutions. These resolutions relate to the authority to be given to directors
to allot and issue shares. The voting is in line with the pattern Mondi has seen at previous
Annual General Meetings. Having engaged with shareholders in this regard over recent years the
directors are aware that South African shareholders in particular (who represent over 33% of the
total voting shares) have particular concerns about these types of resolution. We understand
from our engagement with shareholders that this is not specific to Mondi and they routinely vote
against such resolutions as a matter of policy.
