The Annual General Meeting
Further to the Company's publication of its Annual Report and Financial Statements, and the Notice of Annual General Meeting therein, the Board has been considering the arrangements for the upcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company (the "AGM") in conjunction with the health and safety of shareholders. As a result, the Board has resolved that, in accordance with the Articles of Association (the "Articles"), the Company's AGM will continue to be held at 12.30p.m. on 16 December 2021, but this will be without access for shareholders. The sole business of this meeting will be to propose the resolutions set out in the Notice of the Meeting which can be found on pages 58 and 59 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2021.
As shareholders are unable to attend the AGM in person, in accordance with the Articles, and as noted in the Notice of Meeting, the Board encourages all shareholders to submit proxy voting forms as soon as possible and, in any event, by no later than 12.30pm on 14 December 2021.
The Board continues to welcome questions from shareholders at the AGM. Please submit any questions to the Board by email, to the following address trustenquiries@bailliegifford.com before 9.00 a.m. on 16 December 2021.
