Update on COVID-19 in Regard to Annual General Meeting
2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Heavitree Brewery PLC (the Company)
The Company's AGM is currently scheduled to be held at 11:30am on Wednesday 15 April 2020 at its offices at Trood Lane, Matford, Exeter, Devon EX2 8YP.
On 20 March 2020 the Company announced that, in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all shareholders were being encouraged to appoint the Chairman as their proxy, rather than attend the AGM in person.
The COVID-19 situation has continued to evolve rapidly and the Board has been monitoring the situation closely. The health of our shareholders, employees and stakeholders is of paramount importance and accordingly, the Board has taken into consideration the compulsory 'Stay at Home' measures that have been published by the Government www.gov.uk/government/publications/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others
These measures provide that public gatherings of more than two people are currently not permitted. As a result, shareholders are not allowed to attend the Company's 2020 AGM in person and anyone seeking to attend will be refused entry. Shareholders are requested to therefore submit their votes, in respect of the business to be discussed, by post in advance, as set out in the Notice of Meeting. Votes should be submitted by proxy before 11:30am on 13 April 2020 and shareholders should appoint the Chairman (or Chair of the Meeting) as their proxy. Our advisers and other guests have also been asked not to attend.
As previously announced on 20 March 2020 the business at the AGM will be curtailed to the formal business section only. However, if any shareholder has a question they would like to pose to the Board, this should be submitted via [email protected] , and any questions will be answered as soon as is practicably possible.
