Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting
Sigma, the PRS, residential development and urban regeneration specialist, announces that its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at 10.00am on Thursday 25 June 2020 at 18 Alva Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4QG, and that the following documents have been mailed to shareholders or otherwise made available today:
• | Annual Report and Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2019 ("Annual Report"); |
• | Notice of AGM; and |
• | Form of Proxy. |
The Annual Report, Notice of AGM and Form of Proxy are also available to view and download on the Company's website at www.sigmacapital.co.uk. Shareholders who require a hard copy Form of Proxy can contact the registrars, Link Asset Services, on 0371 664 0300.
As mentioned in the Notice of AGM sent to shareholders, Sigma is closely monitoring the Coronavirus situation, including UK Government guidance and for the avoidance of doubt the Scottish Government, and will continue to do so in the lead up to the AGM.
In light of the current guidance on reducing social interactions between people (social distancing) to reduce the transmission of Coronavirus and specifically the avoidance of large gatherings, shareholders should not attend the meeting in person. Shareholders should bear in mind that any shareholder (or proxy appointed by a shareholder other than the Chairman) who does travel and seek to attend the AGM in person is likely to be denied access based on the prevailing circumstances and, as a result, will not be able to participate in the business to be transacted at the AGM. This is in order to ensure the health and safety of shareholders and Sigma staff, which is our paramount concern.
In normal circumstances, the Board welcomes opportunities to engage with shareholders at the meeting and regrets that this is not possible in the circumstances. The Company will ensure that the minimum number of directors or employees of the Company will attend the meeting to ensure that it is quorate
