Annual General Meeting arrangements
The AGM will take place on Friday, 30 April 2021. The Board takes the well-being of its employees, customers and shareholders very seriously. Given the UK Government's current restrictions on public gatherings in place at the date of this announcement, we regret that it will not be possible for shareholders to attend the AGM in person. Pending further developments, the Board therefore:
· Strongly encourages shareholders to vote on the resolutions being put to the meeting by either using the proxy form sent with the Notice or electronically. Detailed voting information is set out in Part IV of the Notice. To be effective, proxy forms must be received by the Company's Registrar, Equiniti Limited of Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than 12 noon on Wednesday 28 April 2021. Shareholders are reminded of their right, and are being encouraged, to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to attend the Meeting and vote on their behalf.
· Given the restrictions, the Board has put in place a dial-in facility for shareholders to listen to the AGM proceedings by phone by dialling 0800-051-3810 and entering the following access code: 183 708 2172.
· Shareholders may submit questions in advance of the AGM which the Chairman or another director of the Company will endeavour to answer during the meeting. If you have any questions, please send them by no later than 10.00 a.m. on Friday, 23 April to CompanySecretary@rotork.com. The Company will publish these questions and the Company's responses on the Company's website as soon as practicable after the AGM.
The Board will keep the situation under review and may need to make further changes to the arrangements relating to the AGM and shareholders should therefore continue to monitor the Company's website and announcements for any updates.
