Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC - AGM Venue
London, 2 April 2020 - Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC (LSE: HIK) (DIFX: HIK) (Hikma), following due consideration and given the recent guidance from the Investment Association, GC100 and others relating to the holding of general meetings, is to change the venue for its Annual General Meeting ('AGM').
The meeting will now be held at 22 Regent Road, Surbiton KT5 8NL. As two shareholders reside at this address and the government has forbidden public meetings of more than two people, no additional shareholders will be admitted. The time and date remain unchanged at 10.00 am on Thursday 30 April 2020.
As previously announced, shareholders will still be able to listen remotely and to submit their proxy forms and any questions in advance of the meeting. Please see 'Remote Attendance', below, for further details.
The Board encourages shareholders to monitor the Company's website and regulatory news services for any updates in relation to the AGM that may need to be provided and encourages shareholders to submit their proxies as early as possible, as the situation continue to change. Should shareholders have any questions, please contact the Company Secretary at cosec@hikma.uk.com
