AGM Arrangements

The AGM will be held at 10.00 am on Wednesday 25 May 2022 at Fitzroy Place, 5^th Floor, 8 Mortimer Street, London, W1T 3JJ.

We are pleased to confirm that shareholders are able to attend the Meeting in-person should they wish to do so. Alternatively, shareholders are able to view the proceedings via a live webcast. Please note that the live webcast is a view-only service and does not allow shareholders to participate in the AGM electronically. Shareholders can submit questions related to the business of the AGM, in advance in writing or by email. Further details of how to join the webcast and submit questions in advance of the Meeting are set out in the Notice of AGM.

Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM in person, we strongly encourage you to vote in advance by appointing the Chairman as your proxy. This will ensure that your vote is included if further restrictions prohibit your ability to attend the AGM.

Given the constantly evolving nature of the COVID-19 situation, we will notify shareholders of any changes to the arrangements for the 2022 AGM as early as is possible before the date of the Meeting. Such updates will be included on our website at www.bakkavor.com and announced via a Regulatory News Service.
