This should have been Friday 11 December 2020. It also stated that the time and date for receipt of proxy forms was 5.30pm on Thursday 11 December 2020, this should have been 5.30pm on Friday 11 December 2020.
All other details remain unchanged. The full amended text is shown below.
Blancco Technology Group (AIM: BLTG), the industry standard in data erasure and mobile device diagnostics, announces that its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2020, which includes the Notice of Annual General Meeting ('AGM'), will be posted to shareholders today. The document is also available on the Company's website, www.blancco.com .
The Company's AGM will be held at 5.30pm on Tuesday 15 December 2020. As there is considerable uncertainty about what the Government restrictions in relation to COVID-19 will be then, the Board has decided that the AGM will be held virtually via the Microsoft Teams platform and not at any specific physical location. This will ensure the safety of Blancco's people, shareholders and other stakeholders and is permitted under the extension of the provisions of the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020.
If shareholders wish to attend the AGM via Microsoft Teams or submit questions to the Board, they should contact the Company Secretary (Lorraine Young) via investors@blancco.com no later than 5.30pm on Friday 11 December 2020. The Board will endeavour to provide answers to any questions after the meeting. Please note you will be asked to confirm certain personal details so that the Company can verify you are a shareholder.
Shareholders are encouraged to submit a proxy form appointing the Chair of the meeting as their proxy and giving instructions as to how they wish their votes to be cast. Details of how to do this are given in the notes to the notice of meeting. The deadline for forms of proxy to be received is 5.30pm on Friday 11 December 2020.
There will be no presentation at the AGM this year, however, a presentation for retail investors was held via the Investor Meet Company platform on 6 October 2020, following the announcement of the 2020 full year results. You can register with Investor Meet Company and then view a recording of the presentation via https://www.investormeetcompany.com/blancco-technology-group-plc/register-investor.
It is the Board's intention that after the Government restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic are lifted, the Company will return to holding a physical AGM.
