During the Coronavirus pandemic, our priority is the health, safety and wellbeing of all of our stakeholders. The Board currently considers that it is in the Company's best interests to proceed with this year's AGM, but in light of the Government's compulsory measures on social distancing which have now passed into law (Stay at Home Measures), this year's meeting will take a different form. It will be scaled-back and will focus on the formal AGM business only.
As the Stay at Home Measures prohibit public gatherings of more than two people, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person if such measures continue to be in force on the date of the meeting. Shareholders and guests who travel to the meeting will not be admitted. It is, therefore, important that you do not attend the meeting in person while the Stay at Home Measures are in place.
The Board recognises the importance of the AGM to shareholders and is keen to ensure that you are able to exercise your right to participate in the meeting and vote. If you wish to participate in the AGM and the Stay at Home Measures are in force, you should appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy and give your instructions on how you wish the Chairman to vote on the resolutions. Registered shareholders may submit their questions to the Directors in advance of the meeting by sending an email to info@morganplc.com or telephoning the Company Secretary on +44 (0)1753 837000.
This is an evolving situation and as such it is impossible to determine what further impact the Coronavirus pandemic may have on our AGM and we therefore ask that shareholders check our website (www.morganadvancedmaterials.com) regularly for the latest information regarding the AGM arrangements.
