Standard Life Aberdeen plc
("the Company")
2021 Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or "the Meeting")
On 7 April 2021, the Company published its Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM), which is available on the Company's website at www.standardlifeaberdeen.com/agm. The Company is today announcing changes to the arrangements for the AGM.
Webcast and change of venue
To allow shareholders to engage with the Board and the business of the Meeting, the Company will for the first time be webcasting the AGM.
The webcast will allow shareholders to hear presentations from the Chair and CEO and to participate in a question and answer session. Shareholders are encouraged to submit questions prior to the date of the AGM, and can also submit questions during the webcast. See www.standardlifeaberdeen.com/agm for more information.
The AGM will now be held at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, The Exchange, Edinburgh, EH3 8EE. This will allow us to webcast the Meeting.
The date and time of the Meeting remain unchanged as 18 May 2021 at 2pm.
COVID-19
Following the announcement by the Scottish Government on 11 May, the Company continues to review the arrangements for the Meeting. The Board is considering the arrangements for shareholders who may wish to attend the meeting in person, while also considering the social distancing requirements and the health and safety implications. Further details will be published on our website as and when it is clear what will be permitted on the date of the Meeting.
For the time being, and with a view to keeping our shareholders, our colleagues and the wider community safe, we encourage shareholders to plan to use the webcast facility. We suggest that shareholders do not finalise their travel plans until any further changes to the arrangements are confirmed.
The Company encourages shareholders to continue to monitor the Company's website and announcements for any further updates regarding the AGM.
