Publication of Circular and Notice of General Meeting
Purplebricks Group plc, the UK's leading tech-led estate agency business, has today published its circular to shareholders (the "Circular") and Notice of General Meeting of the Company (the "Notice"), in response to the requisition notice received from Huntress (CI) Nominees Limited, acting for and on behalf of Lecram Holdings Limited ("Lecram"), as announced on 9 November 2022.
The General Meeting ("GM") will be held at 10.00 am on 19 December 2022 at the offices of Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, 3 More London Riverside, London SE1 2AQ.
The following two ordinary resolutions will be proposed to shareholders for consideration at the GM:
· A resolution to remove Paul Pindar as a director of the Company; and
· A resolution to appoint Harry Hill as a director of the Company.
Shareholders are urged to vote on the requisitioned resolutions. The Board unanimously recommends that you VOTE AGAINST both resolutions. Paul Pindar has not participated in the recommendation as it relates to his own position as a director of the Company.
Notice of the GM and the Circular, which contains the reasons why shareholders should vote against the requisitioned resolutions, together with a letter from Lecram, are being posted to shareholders today and will shortly be available on the Company's website at: www.purplebricksplc.com/investors/shareholder-information/shareholder-meetings
The Company believes it has the support of a number of shareholders, notably including Axel Springer, a 26.5% shareholder in the Company, which has provided an irrevocable undertaking to vote against both resolutions.
