Ahead of the PLC AGM that was held on
8th February 2007, the Trusts' Boards wrote to all members seeking
a mandate on how to vote the Trusts' shareholdings.
A total of 122 members of the Founders Trust voted together with
129 members of the Supporters Trust.
A simple analysis of the returns received from members and the
votes cast for each resolution are shown in the tables below -
a description of each resolution and the advise provided by the
Trusts' Boards is provided after the tables. A report on the PLC
AGM is available as a separate News item.
On the basis of the mandate given, the Trusts cast their votes
in respect of their shareholdings FOR resolutions 1, 2, 3 and
4.
The Supporters Trust holds 100,000 Ordinary Shares in the PLC.
The Founders Trust holds 80 Founder Shares in the PLC (as at 1st
February 2007).
Democracy only works well if people are engaged and, therefore,
the Trusts' Boards wish to thank all the Trust members who provided
mandates.

After certain errors and omissions were
identified in the first calling notice, the PLC cancelled the
original AGM that was scheduled for 7th December 2006.
A new calling notice was issued for a meeting that was held in
the Vere Suite at Adams Park on Thursday 8th February 2007 at
8:00 p.m.
As a service to members, scanned copies of the following documents
can be found below:
1. The AGM Calling Notice that includes the four resolutions referred
to below;
2. A proxy form containing the resolutions that the Board hope
to pass at the AGM, which coild have been used by shareholders
unable to attend the meeting in person;
3. The Directors Report and Accounts to 30th June 2006; and
4. The minutes of the First AGM of Wycombe Wanderers Football
Club PLC that was held on 1st February 2006.
Shareholders were being asked to approve four resolutions at the
AGM.
The Trusts' Boards believe that these are all fully appropriate.
The ordinary resolutions 1 - 4 require a vote over 50% in favour
to pass.
In summary, the Trusts' Boards offered the following advice on
voting:

Resolution 3:
To re-elect as a Director Mr. Ivor L. Beeks, who is retiring by
rotation.
Mr. Beeks has made a significant personal investment in the Club
both in the form of shares and loan notes.
Mr. Beeks is a successful businessman, who was a director and
chairman of Wycombe Wanderers prior to the conversion to PLC.
Together with the other directors of the PLC, Mr. Beeks is responsible
for the current situation at the Club, where many changes remain
work-in-progress. It is appropriate that Mr. Beeks continue as
a director to see them through including, at a minimum, ensuring
that the Club is financially viable.
The Trusts' Boards advise shareholders to vote for re-electing
Mr. Beeks as a Director.
Resolution 4: To re-appoint HW, Chartered Accounts as auditors
of the Company following their appointment during the year to
fill a casual vacancy and for their remuneration to be determined
by the Directors.
HW, Chartered Accountants are a reputable firm of accountants.
The Trusts' Boards advise shareholders to vote for re-appointing
HW, Chartered Accountants as auditors.
The Trusts' Boards hope that you found the comments and advice
from the Trusts both thoughtful and helpful.
Further, Trusts' Boards hope that, by seeking a mandate from members,
the Trusts are seen to be operating in a democratic fashion.
If you are not a member of BOTH the Supporters and Founders Trusts
then please join BOTH (subject to eligibility).
This is the best way to stay well informed about this and future
debates at the Club and to ensure that your voice is heard on
matters important to the future of the Club.
