Capita plc

("Capita" or the "Company")

Publication of Circular and Notice of General Meeting

On 21 June 2021, Capita and the Cabinet Office announced their agreement to dispose of their shareholdings in AXELOS Limited ("AXELOS") to PeopleCert International Limited (the "Disposal"). AXELOS is owned by Capita (51 per cent. interest) and the Cabinet Office (49 per cent. interest).

The Disposal constitutes a Class 1 transaction for Capita under the Listing Rules and is therefore conditional upon, amongst other things, the approval of Capita shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

Capita is pleased to announce that a shareholder circular in relation to the Disposal (the "Circular") has been published today, having received approval from the Financial Conduct Authority. The Circular will be sent to Capita shareholders (other than those who have elected or who have been deemed to have elected for notification by electronic communication) shortly.

The Circular contains further information on the Disposal and a notice convening an extraordinary general meeting of Capita to be held at 10.30 a.m. on 15 July 2021 at Linklaters LLP, One Silk Street, London EC2Y 8HQ (the "General Meeting").

As set out in the Notice of General Meeting, the well-being of our Shareholders and employees is vitally important to Capita and, while it is possible for Shareholders to attend the General Meeting in person in accordance with the latest Government guidance, Shareholders are strongly encouraged not to attend the General Meeting in person unless considered absolutely necessary and Shareholders are instead encouraged to either attend and vote by electronic means or vote by proxy on the Resolution. Shareholders are able to attend the General Meeting electronically by accessing the General Meeting website: https://web.lumiagm.com. Full details of how to participate electronically in the General Meeting are set out in the Notice of General Meeting.

Copies of the following documents have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism:
