Notice of AGM
Dividend Timetable
Posting of Annual Report & Financial Statements
Trans-Siberian Gold plc (TSG.LN), a low cost, high grade gold producer in Kamchatka, Russia, announces the publication of its Notice of Annual General Meeting and confirms details of the timetable for payment of the proposed final dividend for the financial year ended 31 December 2019.
The Company's Annual General Meeting will be held at 11.00 a.m. (UK time) on 30 June 2020 at Birch Park, Stanwardine Road, Baschurch, Shrewsbury SY4 2ES.
Due to the UK Government's Stay at Home Measures in light of the COVID-19 outbreak, it is no longer possible to hold the AGM in the way that the Board had planned as we cannot allow shareholders to attend in person in the normal way. Anyone seeking to attend the AGM in person will be refused entry. Instead, the AGM will be convened with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders present behind closed doors (which will be facilitated by the Company) in order to conduct the formal business of the meeting and there will not be a business presentation or question and answer session. The location address set out in this Notice is given in order to comply with legal requirements.
In light of the above, we encourage shareholders to submit proxy instructions.
A separate shareholder engagement meeting will be held after health restrictions have been lifted and it is safe and practicable to do so.
Copies of the Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements, and the Notice of Annual General Meeting have been posted to shareholders. These documents are also available on the Company's website at http://www.trans-siberiangold.com/.
Following the announcement of the Company's Final Results, in which the Board announced that it is recommending a final dividend of $0.023 per ordinary share, the Company confirms the timetable for the payment of the final dividend is as follows:
Ex-Dividend date: 9 July 2020
Record date: 10 July 2020
Payment date: 28 July 2020
The proposed final dividend payable amounts to approximately US$2 million, making the total dividend paid to shareholders for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 approximately US$4 million.
Payment of the final dividend remains subject to shareholder approval at the Company's Annual General Meeting.
Payments in pounds sterling will be based on the US$/GBP exchange rate to be determined by the Company and announced shortly.
The Company's issued share capital currently consists of 87,158,508 ordinary shares in issue and 22,894,565 ordinary shares in treasury.
