SPORTECH PLC
('Sportech', the 'Group' or the 'Company')
Notice of Annual General Meeting
Sportech, an international betting technology business, announces the Notice convening the Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting ('2021 AGM') will be mailed to shareholders of the Company ('Shareholders') today.
Notice of AGM
The Group will post copies of its 2020 Annual Report and Notice of AGM to shareholders today, Friday, 4 June 2021. The 2021 AGM will be held at the offices of Dickson Minto W.S., 16 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh EH2 4DF at 10am on Tuesday, 29 June 2021.
The Notice of the 2021 AGM is available on the investor relations section of the Group's website at www.sportechplc.com/investors/shareholder-information/meetings-and-voting.
A copy of the 2020 Annual Report and Accounts document has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
It is likely that the 2021 AGM will be significantly reduced in scale due to the continuing social distancing measures and the Board strongly recommends that Shareholders vote on the Resolutions by submitting an online proxy to appoint the chairman of the meeting as their proxy. A limited number of the Company's Directors will be in attendance and a limited number of Shareholders or properly appointed proxies who have made an advance booking to attend will be permitted access to the meeting room. Advance bookings to attend will be allocated to Shareholders on a first come first served basis.
Attendees should not attend the meeting if the position changes (for example if, after having given the confirmation, they then start to experience any Covid-19 symptoms). Attendees must wear a face mask on entry to the building until seated in the meeting room and on arrival there will be a temperature check and hand sanitiser provided for their use.
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, there may be limited opportunity to engage informally with the Board at the meeting. However, ensuring that Shareholders are able to vote and to raise questions on the business of the 2021 AGM remains a key priority. Shareholders are encouraged to submit questions to the Board ahead of the meeting. Any questions on the business of the 2021 AGM should be submitted to IR@sportechplc.com by no later than 10.00 a.m. on Friday, 25 June 2021.
In the event that the arrangements for the 2021 AGM have to change due to any evolving COVID-19 situation, the Company will issue a further communication via the regulatory news service.
