Edge Performance VCT plc (the "Company")
The Company's board of directors announces that the undernoted notice of the Company's 2021 annual general meeting was posted to shareholders on 5 August 2021. The Board regrets the delay in finalising the Company's Annual Report and is working to announce it to the market in week commencing Monday 23 August 2021.
Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM")
Notice is hereby given that the 2021 AGM of Edge Performance VCT plc (the "Company") will be held at noon on Tuesday, 31 August 2021 at Edge Investments Limited, 1 Marylebone High Street, London W1U 4LZ for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the following resolutions all of which will be proposed as ordinary resolutions.
Please note that it is the intention of the chairman to adjourn the meeting before it has commenced so that the business of the meeting may be properly conducted. Regrettably, because of Covid, the Company's annual report and financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2021 ("Annual Report") is not yet finalised and, therefore, is not available for distribution with this notice. It is for this reason that the business of the meeting may not be properly conducted on 31 August 2021, the statutory deadline for holding the Company's 2021 AGM.
Any shareholder may attend the meeting convened for 31 August 2021. But please note that the immediate adjournment of the meeting will mean that no resolution will be put to the meeting and no discussion on the resolutions will take place. All resolutions listed below will be put to the adjourned meeting at which full discussion will be encouraged.
The adjourned meeting will be held as soon as possible after 31 August 2021 and a general meeting will also be held on that date to consider any business arising from the finalisation of the Annual Report including the re-election of all Directors. Notices of the adjourned meeting and the general meeting, together with forms of proxy for both meetings, will be sent to all shareholders.
The Board apologises for this but assures all shareholders that the arrangement described above will allow the Company's shareholders to engage as fully with the Board as they would have done if all business may have been properly conducted at the annual general meeting on 31 August 2021.
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
1. To receive and adopt the Directors' and the independent auditor's reports and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2021.
2. To approve the Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 28 February 2021.
3. To elect Sir Peter Bazalgette who is subject to election by shareholders as this is the first AGM since his appointment as a Director of the Company.
