Update on AGM 2021
Bank of Georgia Group PLC (the "Company") confirms that, further to our announcement on 16 April 2021, shareholders will have the option to attend the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") in person. The Annual General Meeting will be held at 10:00 am (London time) on Tuesday, 25 May 2021 at the offices of Baker & McKenzie LLP, 100 New Bridge Street, London EC4V 6JA.
If you are planning to attend the AGM in person, please send an email to corporate- representatives@computershare.co.uk confirming your intention to do so. This will support our arrangements for the well-being of our shareholders and employees. The number of spaces at the venue will be limited in order to ensure the well-being of those in attendance and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If the shares are not in your name, please also send a Letter of Representation from the custodian of your shares in accordance with the instructions in the Notice of AGM.
Given the ongoing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, nevertheless we strongly encourage shareholders to participate in the business of the AGM by utilising the proxy voting process, rather than attending in person, in accordance with the instructions explained in the Notice of AGM.
The Notice of AGM and form of proxy continue to be available on the Company's website at https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/information/meetings ; the Annual Report and Accounts for financial year 2020 also continue to be available at https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/reports/annual .
Facilities are available to engage with Directors at the AGM electronically, please see the Company's website for information at https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/information/meetings . Please note in particular the requirements concerning a Letter of Representation (where applicable), shareholder reference number and PIN.
In addition, if a shareholder has a question they would have raised at the AGM, that question can be submitted by email in advance of the AGM to ir@bog.ge and where practicable we will respond ahead of the proxy voting deadline.
