The Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held on Thursday 25 June 2020 at 12 noon at the Chief Executive's home office.
In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company and the Board remind all shareholders of the British Government's rules restricting public gatherings and non-essential travel. Shareholders should therefore comply with the Government's rules by not attending the AGM in person and instead appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy with their voting instructions. We kindly ask that shareholders do not attempt to travel to the meeting in person as any shareholder seeking to attend the AGM will be refused entry. The Company is taking these precautionary measures to comply with the British Government's rules in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, to safeguard its shareholders' and employees' health and to make the AGM as safe as possible.
