Notice of Results
Further to our announced intention to publish our audited 2019 full year results on 31 March 2020, the Board wishes to notify shareholders that this will now be postponed until Tuesday April 14th. This follows advice and additional guidance on financial reporting from the Financial Conduct Authority and the Financial Reporting Council in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Accordingly, the date of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will also be revised. We will provide further notification regarding the date of the AGM as soon as we can be certain of our ability to provide a safe environment for all wishing to attend.
Despite the ongoing restrictions on non-essential travel and gatherings, both our UK and German organisations are able to function normally, and we do not expect the coronavirus pandemic to have a material effect on our first quarter revenues. The current COVID-19 crisis underlines the necessity for increased testing and vaccine development in the rapidly changing medical environment. Several scientific articles are appearing where researchers are using TMT® proteomics to look at how the virus interacts with the human cellular proteome, which plays to our core strength.
