Although it is expected that indoor meetings will be permitted on 21 July 2021 (subject to applicable UK Government guidance), bearing in mind the broader public health considerations and for the safety of others, we recommend that shareholders do not attend the AGM in person. However, shareholders who wish to attend the AGM in person will be able to do so, but are asked to register their intention to attend as soon as possible and no later than 5.00pm on Monday 19 July 2021, by emailing InvestorRelations@QinetiQ.com. If a shareholder is attending the AGM in person, we require them to adhere to the site guidelines in place at the time in relation to health, safety and security. Direction and transport information will be provided to you upon your registration. For the safety of others, in line with the UK Government guidance and legislation, please do not attend the AGM in person if you are experiencing any of the symptoms connected with COVID-19 or are otherwise required to isolate or quarantine.
Alternatively, shareholders are invited to listen to the AGM via telephone. To access this facility, please email InvestorRelations@QinetiQ.com, no later than 5.00pm on Monday 19 July 2021.
Shareholders can still be formally represented at the AGM by appointing the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy and giving instructions on how they wish him to vote on the proposed resolution. We strongly encourage shareholders to do this. Further details on how to do this are set out in the notes to the Notice of AGM.
