SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT DATED APRIL 6, 2023
FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 11, 2023
This Supplement to Proxy Statement (this “Supplement”), dated April 18, 2023, is furnished to the shareholders of Cushman & Wakefield plc (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 11, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”). This Supplement supplements the Definitive Proxy Statement dated April 6, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”).
This Supplement is being furnished in order to provide updated information regarding the ability of brokers to vote uninstructed shares on certain proposals. This Supplement does not provide all of the information that is important to your decisions in voting at the Annual Meeting. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.
Updated Information Regarding Proposals 8 and 9
The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) has ruled that each of Proposals 8 and 9 is “routine” and therefore brokers may vote uninstructed shares regarding these matters in their discretion. The Proxy Statement had previously stated that all proposals other than Proposals 2, 3 and 4 were “non-routine.” As a result of the NYSE’s ruling, if you own your ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee and you do not provide them with specific voting instructions, your bank, broker or nominee is permitted to cast a broker vote with respect to your shares on each of Proposals 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9.
