• | There will be no management presentation however, as usual, an AGM Statement will be published at 7.00am on the morning of the AGM, and will be available on the Company's website |
• | A webcast of the AGM will be made available on the Company's website |
• | Access to the Board following the formalities of the AGM will be curtailed.
