Notice of Annual General Meeting and Dividend Timetable

Gresham Technologies plc (LSE: "GHT", "Gresham", "Group", "Company"), the leading software and services company that specialises in providing solutions for data integrity and control, banking integration, payments and cash management, announces its intention to hold the Company's Annual General Meeting 2022 (the "AGM") at the offices of Singer Capital Markets at 1 Bartholomew Lane, London EC2N 2AX at 11:00am on Tuesday 10 May 2022.

AGM Arrangements

The Board is keen to welcome shareholders in person to the Company's 2022 Annual General Meeting given the constraints faced in 2020 and 2021 arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the safety and wellbeing of our shareholders and colleagues continue to be of paramount importance and, should the Board consider it is no longer possible for shareholders to attend the meeting, the Company will make alternative arrangements and give notice of the change on its website and by way of a public announcement via RNS.

Shareholders who plan to attend the AGM in person are, however, requested not to attend if they are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19, or have recently been in contact with anyone who has tested positive. Furthermore, if deemed by the Board to be necessary, the Company reserves the right to put in place appropriate COVID-19 safety measures for those attending the meeting, which will be communicated upon arrival.

Shareholders who are either not able or who would prefer not to attend the meeting in person will be able to follow the proceedings of the AGM and ask questions via a live webcast through the Investor Meet Company ("IMC") platform. Shareholders can register on IMC to follow the Company, for which there is no charge, via the following link:

Shareholders who already follow the Company on the IMC platform will automatically be invited to join the Company's AGM.

Votes will be taken at the AGM on a poll but the online IMC platform will not include a facility for attendees to vote live. Accordingly, whether or not they propose to attend the meeting in person, shareholders are encouraged to appoint the Chair of the meeting (or their own choice of person) as their proxy (either electronically or by post) with their voting instructions. This will ensure that their vote is counted on the poll vote to be taken at the meeting if they do not attend the meeting in person.

Full details on how to access the IMC platform, how to vote by proxy and how to submit questions in relation to the AGM are set out in the Notice of AGM. 

Availability of shareholder documents

The Annual Financial Report, Notice of Annual General Meeting and Proxy Form are today being posted to shareholders who have elected to receive printed copies. Electronic copies of these documents will shortly be available on the Company's website at www.greshamtech.com. In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, copies of the Annual Financial Report, Notice of Annual General Meeting and Proxy Form will today be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

Dividend timetable

As confirmed in the announcement of the Company's final results for the year ended 31 December 2021, released on 8 March 2022, the Company is proposing a final dividend of 0.75 pence per share (the "Dividend"). If approved by the passing of a resolution at the AGM, it is intended that the Dividend will be paid on 19 May 2022 to all shareholders on the register as at close of business on 22 April 2022. The ex-dividend date will be 21 April 2022.
