Gresham Technologies plc
Notice of Annual General Meeting and Dividend Timetable
Gresham Technologies plc (LSE: "GHT" or the "Company") announces its intention to hold the Company's Annual General Meeting 2021 (the "AGM") at its registered office at Aldermary House, 10-15 Queen Street, London EC4N 1TX, at 11.00 am on Monday 10 May 2021.
COVID-19 arrangements
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is proposing to hold the AGM as a combined physical and electronic meeting using the online Investor Meet Company ("IMC") platform. As there can be no certainty as to the number of people who will be able to attend the AGM, shareholders are requested not to attend the Company's office for the meeting in person but are instead encouraged to participate in the meeting using the IMC platform. Shareholders should bear in mind that if they or any alternative proxy do, nonetheless, travel to attend the meeting in person, they may, based on prevailing circumstances, be denied entry or be required to comply with appropriate COVID-19 health and safety measures.
The votes will be taken at the AGM on a poll and the online IMC platform will not include a facility for attendees to vote live. Accordingly, shareholders are encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the meeting (rather than their own choice of person) as their proxy with their voting instructions. This will ensure that all votes are counted on the poll vote at the meeting if, as requested, shareholders (and any other proxy they might otherwise appoint) do not attend the meeting in person (or are not permitted to attend due to lockdown restrictions or health and safety precautions).
Full details on how to access the IMC platform, how to vote by proxy and how to submit questions in relation to the AGM are set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The Company is keeping the practicalities of the location, date and format of the AGM under close review and it is possible these may change at short notice. Any such changes will be announced via RNS and on the Company's website at https://www.greshamtech.com/invest-in-us and shareholders are strongly recommended to monitor all Company announcements carefully.
Availability of shareholder documents
The Annual Financial Report, Notice of Annual General Meeting and Proxy Form are today being posted to shareholders who have elected to receive printed copies. Electronic copies of these documents will shortly be available on the Company's website at www.greshamtech.com. In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, copies of the Annual Financial Report, Notice of Annual General Meeting and Proxy Form will today be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
Dividend timetable
As confirmed in the announcement of the Company's final results for the year ended 31 December 2020, released on 9 March 2021, the Company is proposing a final dividend of 0.75 pence per share (the "Dividend"). If approved by the passing of a resolution at the AGM, it is intended that the Dividend will be paid on 20 May 2021 to all shareholders on the register as at close of business on 16 April 2021. The ex-dividend date will be 15 April 2021.
