("Gear4music" or "the Company")
Posting of Annual Report and Accounts and Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM")
The board of Gear4music (LSE: G4M), the largest UK based online retailer of musical instruments and music equipment, confirms that the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021, Notice of AGM and form of proxy have been posted to shareholders and are now available on the Company's website www.gear4musicplc.com in accordance with AIM Rule 20.
The AGM will be held at 10.30 a.m. on 9 September 2021 at the offices of the Company at Holgate Park Drive, York, YO26 4GN. The arrangements for this year's AGM are set out below, extracted directly from the Notice of AGM.
In light of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and that UK Government restrictions and guidelines as to public gatherings and social distancing can be altered at short notice, the Board strongly urges all Shareholders to register their votes in advance by appointing the chairman of the AGM as their proxy and giving him voting instructions.
However, if you nonetheless plan to attend the AGM in person, we would ask that you email our Company Secretary at ir@gear4music.com by 5.00 pm on 7 September 2021 to confirm that intention, giving details of your name and Shareholder reference number. We are asking Shareholders to do this so that we can seek to put in place any appropriate measures to comply with the then current UK Government restrictions and guidelines regarding public gatherings and social distancing (if any). The health and safety of our Shareholders and colleagues is the Company's priority and we are committed to supporting UK Government's efforts in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the event that disruption to the AGM becomes unavoidable, we will announce any changes relating to the meeting (such as timing or venue) as soon as practicably possible through the Company's website (at www.gear4musicplc.com) and/or regulatory news.
