Format of AGM
Given the risks posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, if government guidance at the time of the AGM precludes unnecessary travel and gatherings of more than a very limited number (which, at the date of this notice, is expected to be the case), the Company will have to impose entry restrictions on shareholder attendance at the AGM.
The Company's board of directors will continue to monitor Government guidance and will update shareholders on any changes to the below measures by way of an announcement to the London Stock Exchange and through the Company's website.
A presentation from the Investment Manager will be available on the Company's website by 10 May and shareholders are encouraged to submit questions by email to USSolarFund-CompanySecretary@jtcgroup.com by 14 May 2021. Answers to questions received will be published on the Company's website, in advance of the AGM.
The AGM itself will be webcast so that shareholders may follow the proceedings online, and listen to the Chair's address of the key themes arising out of any questions received in advance of the AGM, although Shareholders will not be able to speak or vote at the AGM and will not be counted in the quorum.
Full details of the measures implemented by the Company to allow for the orderly conduct of the AGM can be found in the Notice of AGM.
