Shareholders are reminded that due to the UK Government restrictions on public gatherings as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, it will not be possible for shareholders to attend the AGM in person. The Board, with this in mind and in accordance with the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020, has therefore decided that the AGM will be held as a 'closed' meeting with the minimum number of Directors and officers who hold shares, present, to form the necessary quorum. Regrettably, other shareholders will not be permitted to attend the meeting in person.
