The impact of Covid-19

At the time of writing, the UK Government has prohibited, among other things, public gatherings of more than two people. If at the date of the Meeting public gatherings of more than two people continue to be prohibited, the intention is that the Meeting will proceed with only two persons present to fulfil the required quorum for the Meeting. Other shareholders and their proxies will not be permitted to attend the Meeting in person. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to participate by casting their votes in advance by appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy. You may also submit questions in advance by letter addressed to the Company Secretary at the registered office or to his email address martin.morrow@huntsworth.com. If this situation changes or if plans have to be revised before the date of the Meeting, we will include details on the Company's website at www.huntsworth.com

Revised timetable for the 2019 Final Dividend:

The Board are proposing a final dividend of 1.85 pence per ordinary share for the year ended 31st December 2019 (2019 Final Dividend), which will be subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting on 22nd June 2020. Shareholders will note that, if approved by shareholders, the 2019 Final Dividend will be only payable if the scheme of arrangement dated 23rd March 2020 in respect of the proposed acquisition of the Company by CD&R Artemis UK Bidco Limited has not become effective by midday on 7th August 2020. If the 2019 Final Dividend is approved and becomes payable, the dividend will be paid on 18th September 2020 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 7th August 2020 (with the shares trading ex-dividend on 6th August 2020). This later payment timetable reflects both the decision by the Board to hold the Meeting at a later date than originally planned prior to the Coronavirus restrictions coming into force in the UK and the decision of the Board that the payment should only proceed if the proposed acquisition of the Company by CD&R Artemis UK Bidco Limited has not completed by midday on the first customary dividend record date in August 2020 (being 7th August 2020).
