Current legislation and government guidance relating to Covid-19 prohibits public gatherings and restricts non-essential travel. In light of the government's announced Covid roadmap, it appears highly unlikely that shareholders will be legally able to physically attend the AGM. The Board has therefore decided to hold the AGM as a closed meeting with only the requisite Company personnel attending to enable the formal business of the AGM to be conducted. Shareholders should therefore not attend the AGM in person and are strongly encouraged to submit their votes by appointing the chairman of the meeting as their proxy.
Full details on how to submit proxy votes and the deadline to do so can be found on page 6 of the Notice of AGM.
