PUBLICATION OF ANNUAL REPORT AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
GYG (AIM: GYG), the market leading global superyacht service and supply group, announces that following the release of its Final Results for the year ended 31 December 2020 on 26 April 2021, an electronic copy of the 2020 Annual Report and Financial Statements (the "2020 Annual Report"), together with the notice convening the 2021 annual general meeting (the "Notice") have now been published on the Company's website at https://www.gygplc.com/investor-relations/investor-relations-company-reports/. The Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at Innovation House, 39 Mark Road, Hemel Hempstead, HP2 7DN at 11.30 am on 2 June 2021.
Printed copies of the 2020 Annual Report and the Notice have also today been posted to registered shareholders who have elected to receive paper communications.
Our preference had been to welcome shareholders in person to our 2021 AGM, particularly given the constraints we faced in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, given prevailing UK Government guidance in relation to COVID-19, we are proposing to hold the meeting with the minimum attendance required to form a quorum. Shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person but can be represented by the Chairman of the meeting acting as their proxy.
The Company will, however, offer shareholders the option to watch and listen to the proceedings of the AGM remotely via a webinar and conference call facility. Please note that shareholders will not be able to use this facility to actively participate in the AGM by voting on the resolutions or asking questions. Shareholders are, however, invited to submit questions to the Company in advance of the AGM by sending an email to gyg@fticonsulting.com by 28 May 2021, and answers to the questions will be given at the meeting.
To register to attend the AGM via our online platform, please use the following link www.gygplc.com/agm-2021

Notes to Editors:
GYG is the market leading global superyacht service and supply group with operations across the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the United States. The Company trades under Pinmar, Pinmar Yacht Supply and Technocraft brands and its operations are split between:
· Coatings: Operating under the 40 year old Pinmar brand, this division works across two segments of the superyacht market, New Build and Refit. A New Build project involves the fairing and painting of new superyachts in the latter stages of a multiyear construction process. In the Refit division, the Group undertakes a variety of activities including repainting, finishing and caulking as well as bespoke scaffold containment systems and hardware removal (under the Technocraft brand) on a regular basis. Superyachts also require a major inspection and service every five years to comply with maritime, insurance and industry regulations, which will often include a substantial refit maintenance programme.
· Supply: Trading under Pinmar Yacht Supply, this division operates the sale and delivery of maintenance materials, consumables, spare parts and equipment to superyachts and trade customers both via direct yacht sales and from retail stores across Europe's main shipyards.
Technical innovation lies at the heart of GYG, and the Group continues to innovate and invest in new application technology and training, leveraging its strong relationship with all the main superyacht paint manufacturers. Remaining at the forefront of application technology and quality standards is a key pillar of GYG's unique proposition, particularly to the New Build market.
