Website address
1. Information regarding the meeting, including the information required
by section 311A of the Companies Act 2006, is available from
https://rm-funds.co.uk/rm-infrastructure-income/
Entitlement to attend and vote
2. Only those holders of Ordinary Shares registered on the Company’s
register of members at close of business on 25 May 2023 or, if this
meeting is adjourned, at close of business on the day two days prior to
the adjourned meeting, shall be entitled to vote at the meeting.
Should a shareholder have a question that they would like to raise at
the AGM, either of the Board or the Investment Manager, the Board
would ask that they ask the question in advance of the AGM by
sending it by email to info@rm-capital.co.uk. Answers to all questions
will be published on the Company’s website after the AGM.
In the case of joint holders of a voting right, the vote of the senior who
tenders a vote shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the
other joint holders and, for this purpose, seniority shall be determined
by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members in
respect of the joint holding.
Appointment of Proxies
3. Pursuant to Section 324 of the Companies Act 2006, a member
entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint more than one
proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights
attached to different shares held by him. A proxy need not be a
member of the Company.
If Shareholders are not attending the AGM, Shareholders are strongly
urged to appoint the Chairman as their proxy to vote on their behalf.
Section 324 does not apply to persons nominated to receive
information rights pursuant to Section 146 of the Companies Act
2006. Persons nominated to receive information rights under Section
146 of the Companies Act 2006 have been sent this Notice of Annual
General Meeting and are hereby informed, in accordance with Section
149(2) of the Companies Act 2006, that they may have the right under
an agreement with the registered member by whom they are
nominated to be appointed, or to have someone else appointed, as a
proxy for this meeting. If they have such right or do not wish to
exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give
instructions to the member as to the exercise of voting rights.
Nominated persons should contact the registered member by whom
they were nominated in respect of these arrangements. The statement
of rights of Shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies
does not apply to nominated persons.
Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude
Shareholders from attending and voting at the meeting should they
wish to do so.
Proxies’ rights to vote
4. On a vote on a show of hands, each proxy has one vote.
If a proxy is appointed by more than one member and all such
members have instructed the proxy to vote in the same way, the proxy
will only be entitled, on a show of hands, to vote “for” or “against” as
applicable. If a proxy is appointed by more than one member, but such
members have given different voting instructions, the proxy may, on a
show of hands, vote both “for” and “against” in order to reflect the
different voting instructions.
On a poll, all or any of the voting rights of the member may be
exercised by one or more duly appointed proxies. However, where a
member appoints more than one proxy, Section 285(4) of the
Companies Act does not authorise the exercise by the proxies taken
together of more extensive voting rights than could be exercised by
the member in person.
Voting on all Resolutions will be conducted by way of a poll
5. On a poll every holder of Ordinary Shares who is present in person or
by proxy shall have one vote for every Ordinary Share held by him/her.
As above, Shareholders are strongly urged to appoint the Chair as their
proxy to vote on their behalf. As soon as practicable following the
meeting, the results of the voting will be announced via a regulatory
information service and also placed on the Company’s website.
Voting by corporate representatives
6. Any corporation which is a member may appoint one or more
corporate representative(s) who may exercise on its behalf all of its
powers as a member provided that, if it is appointing more than one
corporate representative, it does not do so in relation to the same
shares. It is, therefore, no longer necessary to nominate a designated
corporate representative. Representatives should bring to the
AGM evidence of their appointment, including any authority under
which it is signed.
Receipt and termination of proxies
7. The Form of Proxy and any power of attorney (or a notarially certified
copy or office copy thereof) under which it is executed must be
received by Link Group by 12.00 p.m. on 25 May 2023 in respect of the
meeting. Any Forms of Proxy received before such time will be deemed
to have been received at such time. In the case of an adjournment,
the Form of Proxy must be received by Link Group no later than
48 hours before the rescheduled meeting. We strongly urge you to
appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy.
On completing the Form of Proxy, sign it and return it to Link Group at
the address shown on the Form of Proxy in the envelope provided.
As postage has been pre-paid no stamp is required. A member may
terminate a proxy’s authority at any time before the commencement
of the AGM.
Termination must be provided in writing and submitted to the
Company’s Registrar. In accordance with the Company’s Articles of
Association, in determining the time for delivery of proxies, no account
shall be taken of any part of a day that is not a working day.
Alternatively, you may appoint a proxy or proxies electronically by
visiting https://www.signalshares.com/. You will need to register using
your investor code and follow the instructions on how to vote. Proxies
submitted via www.signalshares.com for the AGM must be
transmitted so as to be received by the Company’s Registrar, Link
Group, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the
meeting (excluding weekends and public holidays) or any adjournment
of the meeting. Proxies received after that date will not be valid.
If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy
electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been
agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further
information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io.
Your proxy must be lodged by 12 p.m. on 25 May 2023 in order to be
considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will
need to have agreed to Proxymity’s associated terms and conditions.
It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by
them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.
