Annual General Meeting Update
11 August 2020: Cranswick plc, ("Cranswick" or "the Company" or "the Group"), a leading UK food producer, will be holding its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") next Monday, 17 August 2020. As a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 and in line with Government advice, the Board is adopting a number of changes to the traditional running of the AGM. As a result, this year's AGM will be purely functional in format with two employee shareholders attending to satisfy quorum requirements. These measures, outlined in the Report & Accounts and set out below, are aimed at ensuring the well-being of colleagues, customers and shareholders, which remain a priority.
· The venue of the meeting will take place at our Registered Office at 10.30am at Crane Court, Hesslewood Country Office Park, Ferriby Road, Hessle, HU13 0PA
· Under current UK Government guidance on social distancing and public gatherings, it will not be possible for shareholders to attend the AGM in person. Instead, all shareholders are encouraged to participate in the AGM by exercising their voting rights at the AGM without physical presence by using proxy voting rather than attend in person. Details on how shareholders can vote via a proxy are available in the Notice of Meeting. Proxy votes should be returned by 10.30am on Thursday, 13 August 2020 in line with the requirements set out in the Notice of Meeting.
· The Company will issue a trading update on the morning of the AGM, which will be available on the company website. If shareholders have any questions on the Report and Accounts or the resolutions being put to the AGM, these can be addressed ahead of the meeting to 2020.agm@cranswick.co.uk or submitted in writing to the Company Secretary at Crane Court, Hesslewood Country Office Park, Ferriby Road, Hessle HU13 0PA. The Company will respond to these as soon as possible and will be posting answers on the Company's website after the meeting.
· As usual, the results of the AGM voting on the resolutions will be published after the AGM and will also be made available on the Company's website.
