AGM 2020 - Update
On 25 March 2020, the Company published its Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM), a copy of which is available on the Company's website at https://www.elementis.com/agm-information
In light of the Government's 'Stay at Home Measures' to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic which prohibit public gatherings and unnecessary travel, the Company is amending the previously announced arrangements for the AGM. In particular shareholders should not attend the meeting in person and are strongly encouraged to vote by proxy as set out below.
In normal circumstances, the Board welcomes opportunities to engage with shareholders, including through their attendance and questions at the meeting and regrets that this is not possible in the circumstances. To ensure the safety of employees and shareholders, the Board has put in place the following alternative arrangements:
Change of venue/timing: | The AGM will now be held at Elementis' head office at Caroline House, 55-57 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6DX and will allow us to have more flexibility and greater control over proceedings, based on the latest safety advice.
The date and time of the meeting remain unchanged as 29 April 2020 at 9.00am.
|
Attendance: | Shareholders must not attend the meeting in person. The minimum number of directors or employees of the Company will attend to ensure that the meeting is quorate. The meeting will be conducted without a presentation or a question and answer session.
Any person attempting to attend the AGM in person will be refused admission.
|
Proxy voting: | Shareholders are strongly recommended to complete, sign and return their Form of Proxy to our Registrar, Equiniti, or vote on-line to ensure that their vote still counts despite being unable to attend the meeting in person.
Shareholders are also encouraged to appoint the "Chairman of the meeting" as their proxy to vote on their behalf. Proxy instructions should be submitted as soon as possible and must be received by 9.00am (UK time) on Monday 27 April 2020.

Shareholder questions: | Shareholders are encouraged to submit questions prior to the date of the AGM, relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM, to the Company Secretary using the following e-mail address: company.secretariat@elementis.com.
The Company will respond to submitted questions following the AGM. |
The Board will review these arrangements for the AGM and any additional and/or alternative measures in advance of the AGM. The Company will continue to update shareholders on material corporate and business developments in the usual way via the RNS. Further information will be made available at the Company's website.
