Publication of a Circular - Notice of Annual General Meeting
The Board of Amati AIM VCT plc (the "Company") stated in the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 January 2020 that, due to the uncertainty surrounding the global COVID-19 pandemic, full details of the Company's Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") would be provided to shareholders in a separate Notice, to be sent to shareholders.
The Company has today sent a Circular to shareholders which includes the Notice of the AGM and sets out details of the measures the Company has put in place to ensure that the formal, statutory business of the AGM can take place without risking the safety and wellbeing of shareholders and other attendees of the AGM.
The AGM is to be held on 5 June 2020 at 2.00 p.m. at the offices of Amati Global Investors Limited (the "Manager"), 8 Coates Crescent, Edinburgh EH3 7AL. Given the risks posed by the spread of Covid-19 and in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Articles and Government guidance, the Company may impose entry restrictions on attendance at the AGM.
There will be no presentations from the Board or the Manager at the AGM. The Manager will be making available a portfolio update to shareholders on their website, along with short presentations from a selection of the Company's portfolio companies.
The Manager will set up a dedicated page on its website setting out all the information relating to the AGM in one place, including a list of the resolutions to be voted on. A clear link will be provided to this page from the home page at www.amatiglobal.com. Following the AGM, results of the voting at the AGM will also be posted here.
Shareholders are encouraged to vote on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in advance. In order to ensure that votes are registered in the event that attendance at the AGM is not possible or restricted, shareholders are strongly advised to vote through the Registrar's online voting facility (www.shareregistrars.uk.com) or by form of proxy. Shareholders who hold their shares through an investment platform or other nominee service are encouraged to contact their investment platform provider or nominee as soon as possible to arrange for votes to be lodged on their behalf.
The Board acknowledges that this is an unprecedented approach for the Company, but hope that shareholders will appreciate that these are unique circumstances. The Board will continue to monitor Government guidance and will update shareholders on any changes to the above measures by way of an announcement to the London Stock Exchange and through the page dedicated to the AGM on the Manager's website.
