EUROMONEY INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR PLC
PUBLICATION OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
On 9 April 2015, Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC (the "Company") announced the appointment of Andrew Rashbass as Executive Chairman, subject to Shareholder approval.
It is intended that Mr Rashbass will join the board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") and become Executive Chairman with effect from 1 October 2015 upon the planned retirement of the current Chairman, Richard Ensor.
The Board has approved in principle a remuneration package for Mr Rashbass that is market competitive, aligned with Shareholder interests and which reflects current best practice. It is proposed that Mr Rashbass will not participate in the Company's Capital Appreciation Plan or profit share scheme and, as a result, elements of the proposed structure of Mr Rashbass's remuneration package are outside the current Remuneration Policy approved by Shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
Accordingly, the Company has published a circular (the "Circular") which sets out the background to, and reasons for, the proposals and convening a general meeting of the Company to seek shareholder approval for:
· a revised Remuneration Policy that will enable the proposed remuneration package for Mr Rashbass to be implemented (Resolution 1); and
· a new 2015 Performance Share Plan ("2015 PSP") which forms part of Mr Rashbass's proposed remuneration package (Resolution 2).
Further details of the proposed remuneration package for Mr Rashbass, the revised Remuneration Policy and the PSP can be found in the Circular.
The Board considers that both of the resolutions set out in the Notice of General Meeting are in the best interests of the Company. The Directors will be unanimously voting in favour of both resolutions in respect of their own shares in the Company and very much look forward to receiving your support.
The Circular incorporating the Notice of General Meeting and Form of Proxy will be posted to shareholders today. The rules of the 2015 PSP are available for inspection during normal business hours at the registered office of the Company from noon on 14 May 2015 until the conclusion of the General Meeting and will also be available for inspection at the General Meeting fifteen minutes before and during the General Meeting itself.
Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC has today published the Circular and Notice of General Meeting on its website www.euromoneyplc.com :
