General Meeting Arrangements
The General Meeting will be held at the offices of Osborne Clarke LLP, One London Wall, London, EC2Y 5EB on 14 December 2021 at 11:00 a.m. At present, it is possible under guidelines to allow a certain number of shareholders at the meeting and the Company is keen to welcome those who wish to attend in person given the constraints faced in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shareholders wishing to attend the General Meeting are kindly requested to RSVP to ir@invinity.com by 5:00 p.m. (UK time) on 10 December 2021. This is necessary for safety and security reasons.
Given the constantly evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that these arrangements may change. Shareholders are therefore strongly encouraged to use their proxy vote and appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy. This will ensure that shareholder votes are counted, even if physical attendance at the meeting becomes restricted. Shareholders are reminded that completed proxy forms may be scanned and submitted via email to #UKCSBRS.ExternalProxyQueries@computershare.co.uk. The deadline for submission of proxy votes to the registrar is no later than 11:00 a.m. on 10 December 2021.
