The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at SDL's offices New Globe House, Vanwall Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 4UB on 26 May 2020 at 2:30pm.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the latest HM Government compulsory 'Stay at Home' measures prohibiting, at the time of writing, public gatherings of more than two people, shareholders will not be able to attend our 2020 AGM in person and are requested to submit their votes by proxy. The AGM will be convened with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders which will be satisfied by the Chair and another Director or the Company Secretary. 

No business will be considered other than the Resolutions dealt with in the Notice referenced above. The Company is taking these precautionary measures to safeguard its shareholders' and employees' health and make the AGM as safe and efficient as possible.

As the Company previously advised, no physical form of proxy is now being provided with the Notice. Rather, shareholders are asked to submit their votes electronically and further details are provided in the Notice.

We are disappointed that we are having to adopt these measures and appreciate our shareholders' understanding in these unprecedented circumstances.
