Posting of Notice of General Meeting and Annual Report and Accounts
The Company announces that it will today post to shareholders a Notice of General Meeting ("GM Notice"), Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 30 September 2020 ("Accounts") and form of proxy. The GM Notice contains resolutions to approve the Accounts, Report on the Directors' Remuneration, and the appointment of MacIntyre Hudson LLP as the new auditor of the Company following the resignation of Ernst & Young LLP.
The Company's General Meeting will be held at 1 Cornhill, London EC3V 3ND, at 10.00 am, on Friday, 4 February 2022.
Having regard to any legal requirements and Government guidance as may be in place at the time of the General Meeting, including any rules on physical distancing and limitations on public gatherings it is possible that physical attendance at the General Meeting may not be legally permissible for all or some shareholders. Should such restrictions be imposed, the Company will update shareholders through the Company's website and, as appropriate, through an update announcement on the London Stock Exchange. All shareholders are advised to consider their own personal circumstances before attending in person. For shareholders who are unable or do not wish to attend the physical location in person the Company will be providing electronic means for shareholders to watch and listen to (but not participate in) the General Meeting's proceedings. Shareholders will be able to access this at https://www.investormeetcompany.com/pcf-group-plc/register-investor.
In line with emerging practice, it is proposed that all voting on the resolutions will be conducted on a poll. Shareholders viewing the meeting using electronic means will not be able to vote and we therefore encourage all shareholders, and particularly those who cannot attend physically, to exercise their votes in advance of the meeting by completing and submitting their form of proxy.
If shareholders would like to submit any questions in advance of the General Meeting they are welcome to submit these via the Investor Meet Company dashboard - www.investormeetcompany.com/pcf-group-plc/register-investor .
