Posting of Annual Report and Accounts and Notice of Annual General Meeting
Frontier IP (AIM: FIPP), a specialist in commercialising intellectual property, announces that its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2020 were posted to shareholders yesterday. A copy of the Annual Report and Accounts, which includes notice of the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), is also available to download from the Company's website at www.frontierip.co.uk.
The AGM will be held at 93 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 SE3 at 11 a.m. on 17 December 2020. In light of social distancing measures as a response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and as permitted by The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020, this year's AGM will be run as a closed meeting and shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM. The Board is taking these steps to adhere to the UK Government guidelines and to protect the Company's shareholders, employees, the Board and the wider community.
While the pandemic restricts the Company's ability to allow shareholders the opportunity to attend the AGM in person, the Board will make arrangements so that the legal requirement to hold the meeting can be satisfied through the attendance of two Frontier IP director/shareholders. Any shareholders attempting to attend the AGM will be refused entry on the grounds of public safety.
The outcome of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM will be determined by the proxy votes received ahead of the AGM. We strongly encourage all shareholders to vote by proxy on all of the resolutions contained in the AGM notice and to appoint the Chairman as proxy in view of the restrictions on attendance. The business at the AGM will be restricted to the formal business only, with no wider presentations on business performance or Q and A.
While shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM in person, the Board's engagement with shareholders and the continued support of shareholders is very important to the Company. Therefore, should shareholders have a question in relation to any of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM, the Annual Financial Statements or the business of the Company, questions should be submitted to frontier@frontierip.co.uk by noon on 15 December 2020 (including 'AGM 2020' in the subject heading). Questions will be grouped into themes and addressed on the Company's website as soon as practicable following the AGM.
