2026 Annual General Meeting voting update statement
In accordance with Provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”), Mondi
plc (“Mondi” or the “Company”’) provides this update on the announcement made on 24
April 2026 regarding Resolutions 18 (Authority to disapply pre-emption rights) and 20
(Authority to hold general meetings on 14 days’ notice). While both resolutions received
sufficient support to be passed, with respective votes in favour of 78.36% and 78.33% at
the 2026 Annual General Meeting (the “AGM”), there were a number of votes (21.64%
and 21.67% respectively) against these resolutions.
Resolution 18 - Authority to disapply pre-emption rights
Consistent with the approach taken in prior years, the authority requested, being up to 5%
of issued capital, was below the maximum authority permitted by the Pre-Emption Group’s
Statement of Principles and reflected UK listed company market practice.
The Company is aware that certain of Mondi’s shareholders on the South African register
have historically voted against this resolution and this continued to be the case this year.
The Company has engaged with a number of those shareholders that voted against the
resolution and understands that these votes continued to reflect their voting policies in this
area.
Mondi continues to believe that the resolution provides the directors with a degree of
flexibility that is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. However, it is
committed to maintaining an open and constructive dialogue with all of its shareholders
and will continue to consider its approach on this matter.
Resolution 20 - Authority to hold general meetings on 14 days’ notice
This resolution sought approval for the Company to call general meetings (other than an
Annual General Meeting) on not less than 14 clear days' notice, in line with UK listed
company market practice.
Subsequent to the AGM, the Company has engaged with a number of those shareholders
that voted against this resolution. We understand that certain shareholders typically vote
against such resolutions as a matter of established voting policy due to concerns around
the limited time this reduced notice period would allow to consider proposals, brief
underlying beneficial owners and obtain voting instructions.
The Company believes that having the flexibility to call general meetings on short notice
is, in certain circumstances, in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
However the Board understands the concerns raised by shareholders and will continue to
consider the merits of proposing this type of resolution at future AGMs.
In accordance with the Code, a final update on the above matters will be included in
Mondi’s 2026 Integrated report and financial statements.
