Notice of AGM and publication of Annual Report
Capital & Regional today announces that its 2020 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held on Wednesday, 20 May 2020 at 10.00 am (British Summer Time) at the offices of the Company at 22 Chapter Street, London, SW1P 4NP.
In connection with this, the following documents are being made available to shareholders today and will be posted shortly:
· Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 December 2019
· Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting (the "Notice of AGM")
· Form of Proxy
Copies of the documents are available in the 'Investor Info' section of the Capital & Regional website at capreg.com and have been uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection shortly at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
Arrangements for the AGM in light of COVID-19
The Board is continuously monitoring the ongoing situation with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic and taking action in line with the latest Government public health instructions. Whilst the AGM is an important event for the Company, the health of our shareholders, workforce and officers is paramount. On the basis that the current compulsory social distancing measures put in place by the UK Government which, amongst other things, prohibit public gatherings of more than two people and non-essential travel (the "Government Measures") will remain in place at the time of the AGM, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person and should vote by way of proxy. Further details are provided in the Notice of AGM.
The Board would normally welcome the AGM as an opportunity to listen to and respond to your questions in person. Shareholders may instead submit questions to the Board prior to the AGM by emailing the Company Secretary at capinfo@capreg.com with the subject line "2020 AGM". Subject to the volume of questions received from shareholders, all questions will be answered on the Company's website shortly after the AGM.
As it will not be possible for shareholders to cast their vote at the AGM, we strongly encourage all shareholders to vote by proxy as soon as possible and, in any event, by no later than 10:00 am on Monday, 18 May 2020. The voting results of all resolutions put before the AGM will be announced to the market following the Meeting.
The Company will continue to update shareholders on arrangements for the AGM, particularly as regards any relaxation of the Government Measures. Shareholders are advised to check the Company's website for updates.
