ASA International Group plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2020

Amsterdam, 5 June 2020 - ASA International Group plc, (LSE: ASAI, the "Company"), one of the world's largest international microfinance institutions, announces that hard copies of the Notice of Annual General Meeting 2020 and Proxy Form 2020 have been posted to those shareholders who have requested hard copies, today. Hard copies of the 2019 Annual Report will be posted on Monday 8 June 2020. 

The Notice of AGM is also available on the Company's website at https: www.asa-international.com/investors/shareholder-information/agm/

The annual general meeting will be held at the Company's Registered Office on Tuesday, 30 June 2020 at 11:00 am.

AGM arrangements

As a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, and in accordance with the restrictions on public gatherings imposed by the UK Government, the Directors have decided to exercise their discretion under the Company's Articles of Association to limit attendance at the Meeting to the number necessary to form a quorum and conduct the business of the Meeting. This means that shareholders will not be admitted to the Meeting and are strongly recommended to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy to cast their votes on their behalf. To be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting (and for the purpose of the determination by the Company of the votes they may cast), shareholders must be registered in the Register of Members of the Company at close of business on Friday 26 June 2020 (or, in the event of any adjournment, close of business on the date which is two business days before the time of the adjourned Meeting). Changes to the Register of Members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Voting

We will arrange for the legal requirements for the holding of the AGM to be satisfied by the attendance of a Director and the Company Secretary, who will form a quorum and will ensure that the proxy votes of shareholders are recorded. We therefore strongly encourage shareholders to vote by proxy, ensuring that they appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy (since any other person would not be permitted to attend and cast their votes).  

Questions for the AGM

Questions may be submitted to the Company's Head of Investor Relations stating the resolution number to which the question concerns and not later than 18:00 hours BST on 26 June 2020 by email.
