Alpha Financial Markets Consulting plc
('Alpha FMC', 'Alpha', the 'Company' or 'Group')
Publication of Annual Report & Accounts, Notice of AGM and Board change
Alpha FMC (AIM: AFM), a leading global provider of specialist consultancy services to the Asset and Wealth Management industry, announces that it has posted its Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2020, the Notice of the 2020 AGM and a Form of Proxy to shareholders.
Alpha also announces that Nick Kent has decided to step down from the Board, nearly three years from the Company's AIM admission. Nick founded Alpha in 2003, managing the business through a significant chapter of growth and expansion, and has been a Non-Executive Director since 2013. The Board would like to thank Nick for his important contributions to Alpha's success and as a Non-Executive Director, and is pleased that he has agreed to continue to support the Board as an adviser. Nick's resignation will take effect from 1 September 2020 and therefore he will not be standing for re-election at the AGM.
The 2020 Annual General Meeting will be held at 11am BST on Wednesday 23 September 2020. In light of the UK government's COVID-19 measures, it is not currently possible to hold the AGM as originally planned. The Board therefore intends to run the AGM as a closed meeting and shareholders will not be able to attend in person. We will continue to monitor the restrictions in place and, if circumstances and government guidance changes before the AGM, in particular to relax the restrictions on the movement and gathering of people, the Board will consider if it is appropriate and safe to open up the AGM for attendance by shareholders. Any changes to the arrangements will be communicated before the date of the AGM on the Company's website and, if appropriate, announced through a Regulatory Information Service.
Copies of the Annual Report & Accounts and the Notice of AGM will shortly be available in electronic form in the Reports & Presentations section of the Company's investor website https://alphafmc.com/investors/reports-presentations/
