AGM arrangements
Eckoh plc (AIM: ECK), the global provider of secure payment products and customer contact solutions, confirms that its Annual General Meeting ('AGM') will be held at the offices of Eckoh plc, Telford House, Corner Hall, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire HP3 9HN on 1 September 2021 at 11.00 a.m.
It is currently our intention that the AGM will be an open meeting and we are looking forward to welcoming shareholders in person. However, in order to ensure the health and safety of shareholders and colleagues, please note that the following measures will be put in place this year:
· | Shareholders who wish to attend the AGM in person will be required to pre-register their intention to attend by notifying the Company Secretary at InvestorRelations@eckoh.com by no later than 6:00 p.m. on 27 August 2021. |
· | Shareholders must not attend the AGM in person if they are experiencing any COVID-19 related symptoms, and shareholders attending in person will be required to confirm upon arrival at the AGM venue that they do not have any COVID-19 symptoms and are not required to self-isolate in accordance with the UK Government's guidance. |
· | Attendees will be required to wear face coverings (unless exempt) and to practise social distancing. |
· | Hand sanitisers will be available at the venue and attendees will be required to follow the indicated one-way system. |
· | Refreshments will not be served at the meeting. |
· | Shareholders' guests will not be permitted to attend the AGM unless they are accompanying or supporting a shareholder as their carer. |
We will continue to monitor the UK Government's guidance on COVID-19. If the situation changes and we consider that in-person attendance is no longer possible or appropriate, we will notify you as soon as possible prior to the AGM via an RNS announcement and on the Company's website at www.eckoh.com/investors/announcements.
In light of the potential for a change to the UK Government's guidance, shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit their votes by proxy in advance of the AGM in accordance with the instructions set out in the Notice and to appoint the chair of the meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf.
We recognise that some shareholders may not feel comfortable with attending the meeting in person. For those who would prefer to follow the meeting remotely, the Company will be providing a video conference call link to enable Shareholders to follow proceedings of the meeting. Any Shareholders who wish to join the meeting by such video conference means, should contact the Company Secretary by 6:00 p.m. on 27 August 2021 at InvestorRelations@eckoh.com in order to request video conference dial-in details. In addition, any Shareholder wishing to ask questions at the AGM should submit their question(s) to the Company Secretary by 6:00 p.m. on 27 August 2021 at the same email address. Any questions raised by Shareholders in such manner prior to the AGM, will be answered during the meeting in the usual way.
