Low & Bonar PLC (the "Company")
Posting of Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting
The Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 November 2019, Notice of Annual General Meeting, Form of Proxy or Voting Instruction Card have been posted or made available to shareholders today. An email is being sent to those shareholders who had consented to web publications to advise them that the documents are available on the Company's website.
The documents will be available to view on the Company's website at www.lowandbonar.com/investors and will also be available shortly at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism as well as at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM
The Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Company is scheduled to be held on Friday 22 May 2020 at 11:00 a.m. at the Company's Head Office at One Connaught Place, London, W2 2ET. It is possible that the offer for the Company by FV Beteiligungs-GmbH will complete before that date, in which case the AGM will not be held. The AGM will proceed as notified in the Notice of Annual General Meeting unless otherwise announced by the Company.
Arrangements for the AGM in light of Coronavirus (COVID-19)
In normal circumstances, the Board greatly values the opportunity to meet shareholders in person at its AGM. However, in light of the Government's compulsory measures prohibiting public gatherings of more than two people and non-essential travel, shareholders will not be permitted to attend this year's AGM. This overrides what has been stated in the Company's Notice of AGM . Any shareholders attempting to gain access to the AGM will be refused entry to the meeting. Instead, shareholders should vote by appointing the Chair of the meeting as their proxy by submitting a form of proxy in hard-copy or online. Details of how to do this are included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and on the Company's website at www.lowandbonar.com/investors. Arrangements for shareholders to submit questions to the Board via email in advance of the AGM will be detailed on the Company's website in due course, together with a conference call number whereby shareholders will be able to dial in to listen to the AGM. However, shareholders should note that accessing any such conference call will be for information only, questions will not be taken during the AGM and only the business of the meeting will take place. The Board will continue to monitor the format of the AGM in light of the Coronavirus pandemic and if it becomes necessary or appropriate to make changes to the proposed format an announcement will be made on our website and via a Regulatory News Service.
