An application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") for 1,437,048 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company (the "Shares") to be admitted to the Official List of the FCA and admitted to trading on the premium segment of the LSE's main market for listed securities (the "Admission").

 

The Shares will be issued pursuant to the vesting and exercise of awards for nil consideration under the Wincanton plc Deferred Share Bonus Plan, Wincanton plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2018, Wincanton plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2020 and Wincanton plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2023, in each case, conditional on the sanction by the High Court of Justice in England and Wales (the "Court") of the proposed scheme of arrangement to be made between the Company and its shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 pursuant to which GXO Logistics, Inc. will acquire the entire issued, and to be issued, share capital of the Company (the "Scheme"). As previously announced by the Company, the sanction of the Scheme is expected to be obtained on 25 April 2024 following a hearing before the Court.
