Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
Just announces that its notice of Annual General Meeting ("Notice of AGM") for the Company's 2020 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") is now available to view on the Company's website at www.justgroupplc.co.uk/investors/shareholder-information. The Notice of AGM is also being posted today to those shareholders who have requested to receive a hard copy, together with a copy of the 2019 Annual Report and Accounts and a form of proxy.
The AGM will be held at 10:00am on Thursday 14 May 2020 at Enterprise House, Bancroft Road, Reigate, Surrey RH2 7RP.
Impact of coronavirus on our AGM
As set out in the Notice of AGM, shareholders are advised not to attend the AGM in person. The UK Government has introduced a number of emergency measures to limit the impact and spread of coronavirus. The restrictions require people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes, and prevent meetings of more than two people in public (the "Stay At Home Measures"). Unless the Stay At Home Measures are lifted by the date of the meeting and the Board considers it is safe for shareholders to attend, anyone seeking to attend will be refused entry. The format of the meeting will be purely functional, involving only two attendees in person to allow the meeting to take place in accordance with the legal requirements.
Shareholders may ask questions regarding the business of the AGM in advance by emailing ShareholderServices@wearejust.co.uk. These will not be answered at the meeting but we will respond to those shareholders who ask questions.
Shareholders are invited to dial in and listen to the proceedings of the AGM. To register for the event please email ShareholderServices@wearejust.co.uk. Dial-in details will be sent to those who have registered ahead of the AGM.
Given the coronavirus situation is continuing to evolve, it may be necessary to change the arrangements for the AGM. Please check the AGM 2020 section on the Company's website at www.justgroupplc.co.uk/investors/shareholder-information and any regulatory announcements for further updates prior to the meeting.
Voting at the AGM
Shareholders are encouraged to cast their vote by proxy in advance of the meeting electronically via www.sharevote.co.uk or www.shareview.co.uk if they have already registered with the Company's Registrars' online portfolio service. Alternatively, shareholders can cast their vote by completing and returning a hard copy of the form of proxy.
If shareholders wish to appoint a proxy, they are recommended to appoint the Chair of the AGM as their proxy, rather than a named person who will not be admitted to the AGM as long as the Stay at Home Measures remain in force.
National Storage Mechanism
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.3, a copy of the Notice of AGM and form of proxy will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
As previously announced, a copy of the 2019 Annual Report and Accounts was submitted to the National Storage Mechanism on 1 April 2020. The 2019 Annual Report and Accounts are also available on the website.
