Whilst live questions will be accepted on the day, in order to facilitate the smooth running of the shareholder event and AGM, shareholders are encouraged to submit any questions for the Board to consider via the Investor Meet Company Platform up until 9am the day before the AGM.  Shareholders can also submit questions in advance by email to [email protected] up to 48 hours prior to the time of the AGM.
