17th Apr 2026 13:09

RNS Number : 9821A
LMS Capital PLC
17 April 2026
 

 

 

17 April 2026

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM" and/or "Meeting") of LMS Capital plc (the "Company") and Annual Report and Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

 

Please accept this letter as notification that the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the "Annual Report") and the Notice of our 2026 Annual General Meeting (the "Notice") have now been published on the Company's website at http://www.lmscapital.com and are enclosed for shareholders who have elected to receive a hard copy of the Annual Report.

 

AGM Resolutions

 

This letter does not contain the full details of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM (the "Resolutions"). These are contained in the Notice, which can be found on pages 3 to 7 of this document. Please read the Notice before you cast your votes. The Directors consider that the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of them, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings.

 

AGM attendance

 

The AGM will be held at 11.00am on Wednesday 13 May 2026 at 3 Bromley Place, London W1T 6DB.

 

The AGM gives shareholders an opportunity to meet the Directors, for them to provide an update on the Company's business and to answer shareholders' questions.

 

Please note that the Company will not be providing a webcast of the AGM this year. Attendance is in person only.

 

Shareholders who wish to attend the AGM are asked to register their intention as soon as practicable by email to [email protected]. Voting at the AGM will be by a poll, on which each shareholder will have one vote for each share they hold. This will result in an outcome that fairly reflects shareholder views. Please either register your proxy appointment electronically by following the instructions below or complete and submit your Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions in the notes on pages 4 to 7. The completion and return of the Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person.

 

Actions to be taken by shareholders

 

All Resolutions being proposed at the AGM will be decided on a poll rather than a show of hands. This means that each shareholder has one vote for every share they hold. We value direct engagement with our shareholders, but I would encourage you, regardless of the number of shares you own, to complete, sign and return the accompanying Form of Proxy appointing the Chair of the Meeting, as your proxy regardless of whether you plan to attend the Meeting in person. This will ensure that your vote will be counted even if you are unable to attend.

 

Shareholders should return the Form of Proxy to our Registrars as soon as possible but, in any event, by no later than 11.00am on Monday 11 May 2026. Registration of a proxy appointment will not prevent you from attending the Meeting in person and voting at the Meeting if you so wish.

1. VOTING - The Company recommends shareholders to vote electronically via the Investor Centre app or at https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/ as then your vote will automatically be counted. In order to vote electronically you will need your investor code which can be found on your share certificate or can be obtained from the Company's registrars (contact details below). If you prefer to vote using a paper Form of Proxy sent by post, you are encouraged to do so well in advance of the deadline to avoid the risk of your form not being received on time and your vote not being counted. If a shareholder is a CREST member, they can use the electronic proxy appointment service provided by Euroclear.

 

If you are an institutional investor, you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by our registrars. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 11.00am on Monday 11 May 2026 in order to be considered valid or, if the meeting is adjourned, by the time which is 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy. An electronic proxy appointment via the Proxymity platform may be revoked completely by sending an authenticated message via the platform instructing the removal of your proxy vote.

 

If you need help with voting online, please contact our registrars, MUFG Corporate Markets, on 0371 664 0300 (from the UK) and +44 (0) 371 664 0300 (from other locations). Alternatively, you can email MUFG Corporate Markets at [email protected]. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. Lines are open between 8.00am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales.

2. QUESTIONS - Shareholders are encouraged to submit any questions that they would like to be answered at the AGM by sending them, together with their name as shown on the Company's register of members, to the following email address: [email protected] so that they are received by no later than close of business on Monday 11 May 2026. Please see explanatory note 6 on page 6 for guidance on shareholders' rights to ask questions and when the Company will answer them.

 

 

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support as a shareholder of LMS Capital plc.

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

Jamie Wilson

Chair

Notes

 

1. Right to attend and vote

In accordance with Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, only those shareholders entered in the register of members of the Company as at the close of business on 11 May 2026 or, if the meeting is adjourned, at the close of business, two days (excluding nonworking days) before the day of any adjourned meeting, shall be entitled to attend or vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries in the register of members after the close of business on 11 May 2026 or, if the meeting is adjourned, after the close of business two days (excluding nonworking days) before the day of the adjourned meeting, shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend, speak or vote at the meeting or at any such adjournment.

 

2. Total number of shares and voting rights

As at 14 April 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the issued share capital of the Company comprises 80,727,450 ordinary shares of 0.01p each in the capital of the Company, with an aggregate nominal value of £8,072.745. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company. The Company holds no shares in treasury and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 14 April 2026 is 80,727,450.

 

3. Proxies

A member of the Company who is an individual is entitled to attend the meeting in person and ask questions or to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of their rights on their behalf. A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the AGM to represent the member. A member may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares. If members wish their proxy to speak on their behalf at the General Meeting, members must appoint their own choice of proxy (not the Chair of the General Meeting) and give their instructions directly to that proxy.

 

Members must state clearly on each Form of Proxy the number of ordinary shares in relation to which the proxy is appointed. A proxy may be appointed only using the procedures set out in these Notes and the notes to the Form of Proxy.

 

A member may instruct their proxy to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be considered at the General Meeting by marking the vote withheld option when appointing their proxy. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for or against the relevant resolution.

 

The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a member from attending the General Meeting and voting in person if they wish. A person who is not a member of the Company but who has been nominated by a member to enjoy information rights does not have the right to appoint a proxy under the procedures set out in these Notes.

 

To be effective, the instrument appointing a proxy and any authority under which it is executed (or a copy of such authority notarially certified or certified in some other way approved by the Board) must be deposited with the Company's registrars, MUFG Corporate Markets, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL, not less than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the meeting or, in the event of an adjournment, not less than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the adjournment. A member can also appoint a proxy online via the Investor Centre app or web browser at, https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/, where full instructions are given. Investor Centre is a free app for smartphone and tablet provided by the Company's registrars. It allows you to securely manage and monitor your shareholdings in real time, take part in online voting, keep your details up to date, access a range of information including dividend payment history and much more. The app is available to download from both the Apple App Store and Google Play, or by scanning the relevant QR code below.

 

 

 

 

You will need to log into your Investor Centre account or register if you have not previously done so. Once you have setup your account you will need to add your shareholding by clicking 'Add Holding' in the 'Portfolio' section and following the on-screen instructions. You will require your Investor Code (IVC) to add your shareholding. You can find your IVC on your share certificate or by contacting our Registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets.

 

If a shareholder is a CREST member, they can use the electronic proxy service provided by Euroclear (see below). Forms of proxy may not be submitted via the LMS Capital plc website or via any email address given on that website. The valid appointment of a proxy will not preclude members from attending the meeting in person.

 

Proxymity Voting - if you are an institutional investor you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by its registrars. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by not less than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the meeting in order to be considered valid or, if the meeting is adjourned, by the time which is 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the adjourned meeting. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy. An electronic proxy appointment via the Proxymity platform may be revoked completely by sending an authenticated message via the platform instructing the removal of your proxy vote.

 

Unless otherwise indicated on the Form of Proxy, CREST, Proxymity or any other electronic voting instruction, the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, refrain from voting.

 

4. CREST

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting (and any adjournment(s) of the meeting) by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com). CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s) should refer to their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

 

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent, MUFG Corporate Markets (CREST participant ID RA10), no later than 48 hours (excluding nonworking days) before the time appointed for the meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

 

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) should note that Euroclear UK & International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s)) concerned to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time.

 

In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

 

5. Corporate representatives

Any corporation which is a member may appoint one or more corporate representatives to exercise all of its powers as a member on its behalf, provided that not more than one corporate representative may exercise powers over the same share. If your shares are held within a nominee and you wish to attend the AGM, you will need to contact your nominee immediately as they will need to provide you with a letter of representation.

 

6. Right to ask questions

Under section 319A of the Act, shareholders (or their proxies) have the right to ask questions in relation to the business being dealt with at the meeting. However, the Company is not obliged to answer a question raised at the meeting if: (i) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information; (ii) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.

 

The Company encourages you to submit any question that you would like to be answered at the meeting by sending it, together with your name as shown on the Company's register of members, to the following email address: [email protected] so that it is received by no later than close of business on Monday 11 May 2026.

 

7. Website publication of audit concerns

Under section 527 of the Act, shareholders who meet the threshold requirements that are set out in that section have the right to require the Company to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to: (i) the audit of the Company's accounts (including the auditor's report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the meeting; or (ii) any circumstances connected with the auditor of the Company ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which the annual report and accounts were laid in accordance with section 437 of the Act.

 

The Company may not require the shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with either section 527 or 528 of the Act. Where the Company is required to place a statement on a website under section 527 of the Act, it must forward the statement to the Company's auditor no later than the time it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the meeting includes any statement that the Company has been required to publish on a website under section 527 of the Act.

 

8. Nominated persons

The right to appoint a proxy does not apply to anyone whose shares are held on their behalf by another person and who have been nominated to receive communications from the Company in accordance with section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "nominated person"). Nominated persons may have a right under an agreement with the registered shareholder who holds the shares on their behalf to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy. Alternatively, if nominated persons do not have such a right, or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the person holding the shares as to the exercise of voting rights.

 

If you have been nominated to receive general shareholder communications directly from the Company, it is important to remember that your main contact in terms of your investment remains as it was (that is the registered shareholder, or a custodian or broker, who administers the investment on your behalf). Therefore, any changes or queries relating to your personal details and holding (including any administration queries) must continue to be directed to your existing contact at your investment manager, custodian or broker. The Company cannot guarantee dealing with matters that are directed to it in error. The only exception to this is where the Company, in exercising one of its powers under the Companies Act 2006, writes to you directly.

 

Shareholders who hold their shares via a share dealing platform can find more information on The Association of Investment Companies website about how to exercise their votes https://www.theaic.co.uk/how-to-vote-your-shares and how to attend shareholder meetings https://www.theaic.co.uk/how-to-attend-an-AGM

Explanation of business to be transacted at the AGM

 

The following notes provide an explanation of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM. Resolutions 1 to 11 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. These resolutions will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast are in favour. Resolution 12 will be proposed as a special resolution. This resolution will be passed if not less than 75% of the votes cast are in favour. Any votes withheld are not counted in determining whether the resolutions are passed. 

 

Resolution 1: To receive the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the "Annual Report")

The Act requires the Directors to present the annual report and accounts of the Company to shareholders in respect of each financial year.

 

Resolution 2: To approve the Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 37 to 48 of the Annual Report and requires the approval of shareholders. It describes the Company's policy on remuneration and gives details of Directors' remuneration for the year ended 31 December 2025. The vote is advisory and does not affect the actual remuneration paid to any individual director.

 

Resolution 3: To approve the Company's future Directors' remuneration policy

The Company is required, pursuant to the Act, to put its Directors' remuneration policy to shareholders for approval at the AGM this year, having been three years since the Company's current Directors' remuneration policy was approved by shareholders (at the 2023 AGM).

 

Additionally, in light of the Company's change of strategy following the General Meeting in May 2025, the Remuneration Committee has conducted a complete review of the short term and longer-term incentive arrangements which it considers no longer to be relevant to a Managed Realisation. Revised proposals, to replace the current annual bonus and other incentive arrangements. The proposed revised arrangements are intended to provide a single simple cash-based scheme that will reduce annual cash costs and reward participants only after cumulative amounts returned to shareholders exceed certain specified thresholds, thereby aligning with the interests of shareholders.

 

The proposed future Directors' Remuneration Policy ("Remuneration Policy" or "Policy") is outlined in the Directors' Remuneration Report enclosed in the Annual Report on pages 37 to 48. The proposed Policy has been developed with advice from independent remuneration consultants and following consultation with the Company's principal shareholders.

 

This Policy has been reviewed by the Remuneration Committee in light of the Company's adoption of the Managed Realisation and updated in light of current best practice, with the proposed changes designed to provide further alignment of directors' remuneration with the interests of shareholders.

 

Resolution 4: To approve the Company's Managed Realisation Incentive Plan ("MRIA")

Approval is sought for the adoption of the MRIA as proposed in the Remuneration Policy in Resolution 3 above.

 

The draft rules of the proposed MRIA are available for inspection by shareholders as noted above under "Documents available for inspection" and a summary of its principal features is included as the Appendix to this AGM Notice.

 

The vote on this resolution is binding and, if passed, MRIA will apply immediately following the AGM and will be implemented in accordance with the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved pursuant to Resolution 3. This Policy will be effective for three years without the need for a new shareholder approval, unless any amendments are proposed to it. The directors will only be able to make remuneration payments in accordance with the approved new Policy or an amendment to the new Policy. If Resolution 3 is not passed, the current Directors' remuneration policy approved at the AGM in 2023 will continue in effect, until a new policy is approved by shareholders.

 

Resolutions 5 to 9: To re-elect Directors

In line with the recommendations set out in the AIC Code of Corporate Governance, all directors will be standing down and offering themselves for reelection by shareholders at this year's Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee has confirmed that all directors continue to perform effectively and demonstrate commitment to their role. The Directors' biographical details are given on pages 22 and 23 of the Annual Report.

 

Resolutions 10 and 11: To appoint the auditor and authorise the Board to determine their remuneration

The Company is required under the Act to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before the members, to hold office until the conclusion of the next such meeting. Following a change of auditor, Resolution 10 seeks shareholder approval to appoint Gravita Audit II Limited as auditors of the Company for the first time. Resolution 11 proposes that shareholders authorise the directors to determine the auditor's remuneration. In practice, the Audit Committee will consider the audit fees and recommend them to the Board. The amount of the remuneration paid to the auditor for the next financial year will be disclosed in the next audited accounts of the Company.

 

Resolution 12: Approval to call general meetings (other than AGMs) on 14 clear days' notice

Under the Act, the Company is required to give at least 21 clear days' notice of any general meeting of the Company unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days (Annual General Meetings must continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice).

 

At the 2025 Annual General Meeting, shareholder approval was given to allow the Company to call general meetings, other than annual general meetings, on at least 14 clear days' notice and Resolution 12 seeks to renew that authority. If the approval is given, it will be effective until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. The flexibility offered by this resolution will be used where, taking into account the circumstances, the Directors consider it to be appropriate in relation to the business to be considered at the meeting in question and where it is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole. In order to be able to call a general meeting on less than 21 clear days' notice, the Company must make electronic voting available to all shareholders for that meeting.

 

 

 

Appendix

 

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL FEATURES OF THE PROPOSED MANAGED REALISATION INCENTIVE PLAN ("MRIA" OR THE "PLAN")

 

Following the Company's change from an active investment to a managed realisation strategy, the Remuneration Committee conducted a complete review of the existing remuneration arrangements, which it considered no longer to be appropriate. An alternative incentive arrangement is proposed with the aim of:

 

· Replacing all previous incentive arrangements, including annual bonus;

· Providing an incentive that will retain key team members during the managed realisation process;

· Reducing annual cash running costs; and

· Establishing a single cash-based incentive pool, the amount of which will be determined by reference to cumulative amounts returned to shareholders as part of the Company's managed realisation strategy.

 

No annual bonus has been paid in respect of 2025 and no further annual bonuses will be paid under the 2026 Proposals. In addition, all current long-term plan awards under the Value Creation plan and Share Option Plan will be cancelled.

 

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED MANAGED REALISATION INCENTIVE PLAN RULES

 

The details of the Plan are available for inspection by shareholders during normal office hours (weekends and public holidays excepted) at the Company's registered office until 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the AGM. The following is a summary of its principal features:

 

1. General

The Plan is a discretionary plan which provides for the grant to selected employees and executive directors of the Group, of rights to participate in a cash bonus arrangement, the amount of which is linked to the amounts of cumulative amounts of cash returned to shareholders under the Managed Realisation strategy of the Company.

 

Awards are expressed as a number of Plan Units. A Plan Unit is a notional unit of measure, which entitles a participant to a share of the Bonus calculated in accordance with the Performance Measure explained in paragraph 5 below.

 

Awards of Plan Units are non-transferable (except on death) and are not pensionable.

 

2. Administration

The Plan will be operated and administered by the Remuneration Committee (Committee) which will make all decisions about participation, size and timing of grants of Awards.

 

3. Eligibility

The Committee has complete discretion as to the selection of employees and executive directors of the Group to whom Awards may be made.

 

4. Limits

The maximum number of Plan Units over which Awards may be granted is 3,200,000 in aggregate to all participants.

 

The Committee may set a maximum number of Plan Units for any individual participant.

 

5. Performance Conditions

The amount of Bonus (if any) payable in respect of each Plan Unit, from time to time, shall be determined in accordance with the following table:

 

Cumulative Distribution Amount declared in respect of each Ordinary Share on the relevant Qualifying Distribution Event

Bonus entitlement per Unit for every pence declared in respect of each Ordinary Share on the relevant Qualifying Distribution Event

Less than or equal to 21 pence

Nil

More than 21 pence but less than or equal to 26 pence

0.8 pence

More than 26 pence but less than or equal to 30 pence

1 pence

More than 30 pence but less than or equal to 38 pence

2 pence

More than 38 pence

3 pence

 

6. Cessation of Employment

If a Participant ceases employment with the Company or a Group member or is under notice of termination (whether given or received) in circumstances where the Participant is or would be a Good Leaver, such a Participant shall retain all of the Plan Units under their Award. Accordingly, the Participant will continue to receive Bonus with respect to the retained Plan Units, as determined by the Committee.

 

If a Participant becomes a Bad leaver, all their Plan Units under their Award shall lapse forthwith on which they become a bad leaver and accordingly, such a Participant will not receive any further Bonus.

 

7. Corporate events

In the event of a reorganisation an Award shall not lapse and shall continue to subsist on its original terms subject to any amendments that the Committee, acting fairly and reasonably, considers necessary to be made to the conditions applying to the Award.

 

8. Malus and clawback

The Committee may take such steps as it considers appropriate to reduce the amount of any Bonus subject to an Award (to nil if applicable) and/or impose further conditions (including repayment to the Company of cash paid to the participant in respect of an Award) in certain circumstances, including but not limited to a material misstatement in any published results of the Group, the participant dismissed for misconduct or reputational damage to the Company.

 

9. Amendment and termination

The Committee may at any time alter the Plan and/or the terms of any potential Bonus in any manner it so chooses provided that in respect of Awards made, no alteration shall be made to the material disadvantage of a Participant without their written consent.

 

However, any alterations to the advantage of participants to the rules governing eligibility, individual and dilution limits on participation, terms of the Awards and adjustment of Awards must be approved in advance by shareholders in general meeting unless the alteration or addition is minor in nature and made to benefit the administration of the Plan, to comply with the provisions of any existing or proposed legislation or to obtain or maintain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment for participants or Group companies.
