Posting of Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting

The board of directors of Northern Bear (the "Board") hereby confirms that its Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 has been posted to shareholders, together with the notice of the 2020 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") (the "AGM Notice") and associated form of Proxy. All documents are now available from the investors section of the Company's website at https://northernbearplc.com/investor-relations/ 

Notice of AGM

The Company's Annual General Meeting is to be held at A1 Grainger, Prestwick Park, Prestwick, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE20 9SJ at 10:00am on 18th August 2020.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the United Kingdom Government's measures to restrict public gatherings, it will, regrettably, not be possible to hold the Annual General Meeting in its usual format and, in particular, physical attendance in person by Shareholders of the Company will not be possible. Shareholders are therefore requested to submit their votes by proxy, further details of which are contained in the AGM Notice and associated form of Proxy. No business other than the resolutions set out in the AGM Notice will be considered at the meeting.

The Board recognises the importance of Shareholder engagement and the opportunity for Shareholders to discuss the Company's business with it. The Directors engage regularly with shareholders on an informal basis and would be delighted to address any shareholder queries prior to the AGM, including any which shareholders wish to raise prior to submitting proxy votes for the AGM. Any shareholders who wish to contact the Company should do so via email at info@northernbearplc.com.
