Victoria Oil & Gas Plc announces that a General Meeting ("GM") to receive the Annual Report and Accounts to 31 December 2020 will be held on 12 August 2021 at Scott House, Suite 1, The Concourse, Waterloo Station, London, SE1 7LY at 11.00am.
The following documents are now available on its website at https://www.victoriaoilandgas.com/investor-relations/shareholder-meetings/
· Shareholder Circular including the Notice of General Meeting
· Proxy Form
· Annual Report and Accounts to 31 December 2020
Copies of the above-mentioned documents have been posted to the Company's shareholders ("Shareholders") as per individual request.
The Board strongly encourages all shareholders to vote on the resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting by proxy before the deadline of 11:00 a.m. on 10 August 2021. Instructions for voting by proxy are set out in the notes at the end of this Notice and on the proxy card sent to shareholders. Shareholders are encouraged to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy.
At the time of writing, the Company understands that the remaining restrictions on social contact arising from the Covid-19 pandemic will be lifted on 19 July 2021. However, the public is being urged to exercise caution and an increase in infections is anticipated over the summer. During this time, whilst the Company is not expecting to be legally restricted in terms of attendance and safety measures at the General Meeting, the health of the Company's Directors and staff, shareholders and other users of the offices is paramount. Accordingly, the Board urges shareholders to consider whether travelling to and attending the General Meeting is necessary in the circumstances. In any event, attendees will be required to wear face coverings and maximise distances between themselves and other attendees. To further reduce transmission risk at the General Meeting, there will be no refreshments and no "mingling" with the Board. The Company will provide an update should any attendance arrangements need to be altered in advance of the meeting.
The Company will arrange for a quorum to be present in person at the Meeting to enable the business to be transacted and the Chairman will propose that votes be conducted on a poll to ensure that all votes are counted.
The Directors are mindful that Shareholders have not been able to have a direct dialogue with management or directors of the Company at Shareholder meetings due to the severe but understandable restrictions placed upon us by the Covid-19 pandemic. Accordingly, we are also inviting questions from Shareholders in advance of the Meeting. A response to these questions will be issued before the Meeting and additional information about this process will be made available on our website. All questions should be sent directly to the Company by close of business on Friday 6 August 2021 either via email to compliance@victoriaoilandgas.com or by post to Victoria Oil & Gas Plc, Scott House, Suite 1, The Concourse, Waterloo Station, London, SE1 9LX and include your Shareholder registration number or registered Shareholder details and address.
