Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements and Notice of Annual General Meeting
The Company announces that the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019, together with the Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), have today been sent to shareholders.
The AGM will be held at Grand Fort, Grand Fort Road, St Sampsons, Guernsey, GY2 4FG on Tuesday, 12 May 2020 at 10:30a.m.
Copies of the Notice of AGM and the Annual Report are available from the Company on request, or on its website via http://www.glifinance.com
COVID-19 and Stay at Home Measures
The Directors wish to reassure shareholders that the Company has considered the potential for impact on the AGM of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictive measures in place as at the date of posting the Notice of AGM. It may be extremely challenging to hold the AGM in the format typically expected by shareholders. At the time of this announcement, "stay at home" measures are in place in Guernsey prohibiting travel and public gatherings subject to certain limited exceptions. It is possible that restrictions around travel, both within and to and from the island, and public gatherings may remain in force on the scheduled date of the AGM, meaning that shareholders may be refused entry into Guernsey or the AGM if they try to attend in person. Consequently shareholders are asked not to attempt to attend the AGM and instead vote by proxy. The Board feels it is important to proceed with the AGM, noting that alternative practical arrangements may be required, such as an adjournment and possibly a change of time and venue. In light of the present circumstances, a listen-only dial-in facility will be available to allow shareholders to listen to the AGM proceedings. Details of how to access this dial-in facility are available from the Company upon request by e-mail to info@glifinance.com
The Directors strongly encourage shareholders to participate in the AGM by submitting any questions in advance and listening to the AGM remotely. Any specific questions on the business of the AGM and resolutions can be submitted ahead of the AGM by email to info@glifinance.com
May we finally take this opportunity to encourage shareholders to use the online voting facilities, rather than posting a paper proxy card, as in the current circumstances we cannot guarantee that a paper proxy card will be delivered and counted. Details on how to submit your proxy vote online are set out in the Notice of AGM.
The Directors will continue to consider the latest instructions from relevant authorities in conjunction with guidance available from professional and regulatory bodies to ensure the AGM is held in accordance with its statutory requirements and with the Company's Articles.
