The Celtic Trust - Fan Ownership/Representation

https://celtictrust.net/urgent-request-to-shareholders-for-action-re-2025-celtic-plc-agm/


The Celtic PLC AGM will be held in person in November at a date yet to be announced. We have been advised that the deadline for submission of shareholder resolutions has passed despite us writing to request that information earlier this month.

However, we have also been advised that if we submit the necessary forms by Tuesday of next week (21/10/2025) any such resolutions will appear on the PLC AGM Agenda.

This means that there is now extreme urgency in getting the shareholder signatures we require to ensure our two resolutions will appear on the AGM Agenda, the notice of which will be going out very soon. Effectively, we need these forms returned by Monday morning 20/10/2025.

If you hold ordinary shares in Celtic PLC please go to the following page on our site where you will find links to both resolutions.

Resolution 1 Form

Resolution 2 Form

You can do one of the following:

• download them, sign and date them, scan them and return to us at trust@celtictrust.net or directly to investorrelations@celticfc.co.uk

• download them, sign and date them, take a picture with your phone and send the picture (jpeg) to either of the above two email addresses.

• download them, sign and date them with a digital signature (if you have one) or sign a piece of white paper, take a picture of it with your phone, crop it, and save as a jpeg (picture) which you insert into the document and then email them back to us.

• Or contact us at the above email address and request someone to collect them. Please only do this if you are unable to use either of the other two methods and you live in the Glasgow area.

We appreciate your assistance with this.

 

Many of you will know that there have been problems with some shareholders being able to cast their votes or register their proxy for the 2025 Celtic PLC AGM which is due to take place on Friday 21 November at Celtic Park. Voting opened on 28/10/25 when the AGM papers were delivered by post or email to shareholders – of which Celtic has around 28000.

The Celtic Trust had publicised our voting intentions, including on a resolution expressing no confidence in the PLC Board and had, as normal, indicated how to proxy votes to the Trust. We advised those shareholders who appeared to be having difficulty to approach Computershare, the company’s Registrar, and at the beginning of this week we approached Computershare directly to ask what the issue was.

In an astonishing and profoundly shocking development, we have been advised this morning that this problem only applied to those shareholders who wished to proxy their vote to the Celtic Trust. We are told that the Computershare system rejected the word ‘Trust’ because the Companies Act does not allow companies or trusts (in the corporate sense) to act as proxy. We have been given no explanation as to why this problem has not arisen in the twenty five years that the Celtic Trust has been operating and engaging in Celtic PLC AGMs. Neither have we been told why it took so long for Computershare or Celtic PLC to identify this issue and how they intend to recover the integrity of the process.

We have now lost almost two weeks to try to get our vote out – a task which takes a lot of our time at this time of year. Furthermore, most Celtic shareholders are not experienced in these matters as Celtic shares are the only shares which they own. Many will have given up trying to vote already, having repeatedly been prevented from doing so by the Computershare system. Many people who vote for us regularly over the years will not see any updates and will simply do what they always do and not know why they can’t vote.

It is the responsibility of Celtic PLC to ensure that the rights of shareholders are protected. We have requested an urgent meeting with the Company Secretary, Joanne McNairn, at 9am on Monday morning (10th) to hear what Celtic PLC intend to do, if anything, about this matter.

In the meantime, if you wish to proxy your votes to the Celtic Trust please enter the following EXACTwords/abbreviations in the appropriate box:

 

This is sinister as *.

Get them gone by any means necessary to save our club

 

As I said in a other thread Desmond is a * dictator and suprise suprise this problem comes up before a AGM .
Desmond is going to use any means to stop any dissent within the shareholders and this is not on and we should declare war on this * now any of his business or property shouldn't be off limits to demonstrating and causing harassment as much as possible.

 

Zero chance just like with the Green Brigade ban that this is a coincidence IMHO. It just becomes clearer by the day that Desmond needs to go. He is actively sabotaging our own club.

 

20+ years of proxying votes to the trust, and the now, NOW, theres a "computer glitch".

* DISGUSTING *.

This is * textbook tyranny.

This AGM cannot go ahead. Picket the * thing. Bar the * doors. Block the * roads. Do whatever needs to be done to stop these * horrible *.

 

Reads much like everything else the club tells supporters, groups and associations - "aye we know, but not our fault" or "honest governor we are fixing it, don't ask us what we are doing, just trust us we are"

Until next time

 

I’ll give the trust 10 outta 10 for brass neck, asking the Club to communicate with us about the ability to proxy voting rights to the trust
