Legal Entity Identifier (LEI): 5493006R74BNJSJKCB17
The Directors confirm their intention to hold the Annual General Meeting (AGM) as set out in the Notice of Meeting issued with the Company's Annual Report and Accounts on 17th December 2021. The meeting will take place at 60 Victoria Embankment, London EC4Y 0JP at 12.00 noon on Thursday, 3rd February 2022.
The Directors are aware of the increased risk posed by the Omicron variant of the Covid-19 virus. The Board understands and respects the importance of the AGM to shareholders but it owes a duty of care to its advisers and shareholders whose health and wellbeing is of paramount importance and therefore strongly advises that no shareholders attend the AGM in person.
Those shareholders intending to attend the meeting in person should note the following health and safety measures which will be in effect:-
· All those present on the day will be required to show their NHS Covid pass or proof of a negative Covid-19 test result taken within the 48 hours prior to the AGM (unless exempt)*.
· No refreshments will be provided and you will be asked to leave the venue promptly on conclusion of the formal business of the AGM.
· Unless you are exempt, you will be required to wear a face covering which covers your nose and mouth at all times while you are in the AGM venue
· If you or a member of your household currently has Covid-19 you should not attend the AGM.
* Rapid lateral flow tests which can be taken at home are available free of charge from pharmacies or can be ordered online at: www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests
Shareholders can follow the AGM proceedings remotely through conferencing software. Details on how to register, together with access details, are available on the Company's website: www.jpmindian.co.uk or by contacting the Company Secretary at invtrusts.cosec@jpmorgan.com.
A video recording of the Investment Manager's presentation will be made available on the Company's website shortly after the meeting.
As is normal practice, all voting on the resolutions will be conducted by a poll. Due to technological reasons, shareholders viewing the meeting via conferencing software will not be able to vote on the poll and we therefore encourage all shareholders to exercise their votes in advance of the meeting by completing and submitting their form of proxy.
Shareholders are encouraged to send any questions ahead of the AGM to the Board via the Company Secretary at invtrusts.cosec@jpmorgan.com. We will endeavor to answer relevant questions at the meeting or via the website depending on arrangements in place at the time.
While at the time of writing it is the Directors' intention to hold the meeting as planned, government guidance or regulation to contain the spread of Covid-19 might change. If we are obliged to change the arrangements for the AGM details will be published via RNS and our website. Any shareholders who plan to attend the AGM are encouraged to check the website before travelling.
