While the pandemic restricts our ability to follow our usual AGM format, the Board wishes to hold an AGM which gives our shareholders the opportunity to interact with them. 

Shareholders will be able to submit questions in advance of the AGM and answers to questions on key themes will be provided on the listen only conference call which we are organising to enable shareholders to be involved in the proceedings.

Although Shareholders will not be able to attend the 2020 AGM in person, they will still be able to ensure their votes are counted by submitting their proxies in advance, either online or by post.

Details of how to vote and submit questions in advance of the AGM can be found in the Notice of Meeting.
