Watchstone Group plc
("Watchstone" or the "Company" or the "Group")
Publication of Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, Circular and Notice of AGM
The Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 has now been posted (where applicable) to registered shareholders and is available at www.watchstonegroup.com/investors.
The 2021 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at 10.00am on 29 June 2021 at WH Ireland, 24 Martin Lane, London EC4R 0DR. As announced on 23 April 2021, pursuant to AIM Rule 41, the Company intends to seek shareholder approval for the cancellation of trading of its Ordinary Shares on AIM at the AGM.
The Company's Circular relating to the proposed Cancellation of Admission of Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM and the Notice of the AGM has been published on the Company's website at https://www.watchstonegroup.com/investors/shareholder-information/.
In view of the UK Government placing restrictions on travel and other matters because of the COVID-19 situation ("Covid Measures"), we are proposing to hold the AGM as a combined physical and electronic meeting. Due to the current restrictions, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the physical location for AGM in person but can attend in person using electronic means. Given the constantly evolving nature of the situation, if it subsequently becomes possible to welcome a number of shareholders to the venue, attendance in this way is likely to be restricted in terms of numbers and we would therefore still encourage Shareholders not to attend the venue in person and instead to participate in the meeting electronically. Details of how shareholders can access the AGM by electronic means (and physically if permitted) may be obtained by emailing info@watchstonegroup.com, however please note that remote participation will be for information purposes only and will not be a formal part of the meeting.
