Impact of COVID-19 on the AGM

Pennon Group plc ('Pennon' or 'the Company')

Pennon is today sending out the following supplementary information to shareholders regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The 2021 AGM of Pennon Group plc will be held as a combined on-line and physical meeting (known as a "hybrid meeting") at Sandy Park Conference Centre, Rydon Lane, Exeter EX2 7NN, at 2.30pm on 22 July 2021.

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring the health and wellbeing of its shareholders remains of the utmost importance to Pennon. The AGM has therefore been convened as a hybrid meeting to ensure that shareholders can attend remotely, view the proceedings through the live webcast we are providing, and ask questions.

We strongly encourage shareholders to participate in the AGM remotely, using the instructions as described in the Notice of AGM. Shareholders can appoint the chair of the meeting as their proxy and provide voting instructions in advance of the AGM. All voting at the AGM will be on a poll, based on the proxy instructions received. 

To access and vote, shareholders will normally require an Investor Code which can be found on a share certificate or dividend confirmation. Shareholders can also obtain an Investor Code by contacting Link, the Registrar, by calling +44 (0) 371 664 9234.

Pennon also recognises that shareholders may prefer to attend in person. While Pennon will not prevent entry to shareholders, in the interests of the safe planning of the event, shareholders are requested to attend the AGM only following registration of their intention to attend. Any shareholder wishing to attend in person should contact [email protected] as soon as possible to help us to make the appropriate arrangements.

WaterShare+ participants can also join the AGM remotely by following the instructions in the Notice of AGM and are reminded that they will only be able to attend in person if they request a letter of representation from the WaterShare+ nominee, by 2.30pm on 19 July 2021. Pennon may be unable to allow entry to Watershare+ participants who attend in person unless they have made such arrangements.
