Medica Group Plc

AGM Statement

Medica Group Plc (LSE:MGP, "Medica" or the "Company"), an international provider of high-quality telemedicine services, is holding its 2023 annual general meeting ("AGM") at 10.30am today at the offices of DLA Piper, 160 Aldersgate Street, London EC1A 4HT.

Due to the expectation that the recommended cash acquisition¹ for the Company by Moonlight Bidco Limited (a newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary of funds advised by IK Investment Partners Limited) ("Bidco") will become effective on 6 July 2023, the Board has decided that the resolution to declare a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2022 of 1.88 pence per share (Resolution 3) ("2022 Final Dividend") should be withdrawn and will not be presented to the AGM. This will ensure shareholders receive 212 pence per share in full without any reduction in respect of the previously proposed 2022 Final Dividend as opposed to two separate payments and in accordance with the terms of the recommended cash acquisition (once effected). In addition, no trading update and no new information will be presented at the AGM.

The withdrawal of Resolution 3 does not otherwise affect the validity of the notice of AGM (which was posted or made available to shareholders on 2 June 2023), the proxy form or any proxy votes already submitted on other proposed resolutions. The numbering of all other proposed resolutions at the AGM will remain unchanged.
