Annual Report & update on AGM attendance

HSS confirms that its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 26 December 2020 along with its Notice of Annual General Meeting has been posted to shareholders and are available to download from the Company's website at https://www.hsshiregroup.com/ 

The Notice of Annual General Meeting advised against shareholder attendance due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Since circulating such notice, there have been the following developments:

• the Government delayed moving to Step 4 of its roadmap until 19 July 2021;

• the Delta variant of the virus has developed; and

• the London Borough of Hounslow, where the Company has held its AGM in recent years and will do so this year, has seen high levels of Delta variant infection.

For these reasons, the Company reiterates that shareholders should not attend the AGM in person on 30 June 2021. Any shareholders who have not indicated their wish to attend as set out in the Notice of Meeting will not be permitted entry if social distancing requirements cannot be ensured. Any shareholders who have contacted the Company noting their wish to attend have been contacted separately. The Board regrets that such measures remain necessary and hopes to be able to welcome shareholders to the AGM in 2022. In the meantime, shareholders are reminded that they can listen to the business of the meeting via the dial-in details provided on the Company's website, as set out above, when any shareholder questions submitted in advance will also be responded to.
