RTC Group Plc

("RTC", "the Company" or "the Group")

Shareholder notification

The Company has today received a formal notification from Mr David Stredder, a 5% shareholder in the Company. Mr Stredder has requested that the Company include the two resolutions set out below (the "Stredder Resolutions") at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting scheduled for 27 May 2026 (the "AGM").

1. To elect Paul Hooper as a director of the Company

2. To elect Gerard Oates as a director of the Company

In accordance with the Companies Act by virtue of Mr Stredder's shareholding he is entitled to either requisition an EGM for shareholders to consider resolutions he considers appropriate or requisition the Company to include resolutions at its forthcoming AGM. The Company by abiding by Mr Stredder's instructions is fulfilling its legal responsibilities under the Companies Act.

The Board of RTC will outline a full response to the Stredder Resolutions in the notice of AGM to be circulated to shareholders in due course. At this time the Board wishes to inform shareholders that the Stredder Resolutions have been proposed by Mr Stredder without prior consultation with the Board. Despite being informed of the process being followed by the Board to appoint a further non-executive director, Mr Stredder has chosen to continue with the Stredder Resolutions. 

It is the Board's view that by virtue of the candidates being known to and proposed by Mr Stredder, they cannot be considered independent, rather proxies for Mr Stredder.

The Board believe the Stredder Resolutions to be without merit, and an unnecessary and inappropriate distraction as they anticipate appointing a further independent non-executive director who has significant relevant experience within a measurable timeframe.

On 23 March 2026 the Company announced record equalling results for the year ended 31 December 2025 and a 10% increase in dividends for shareholders, and the Board will remain focussed on continuing to deliver increased value for all shareholders rather than serving a specific interest group.

Further announcements will be made in due course.
