The results of voting will be announced following the conclusion of the meeting.
The Board provides the following update prior to holding its Annual General Meeting.
Since the announcement of our 2020 final results issued on 22 March 2021, the Company has continued to trade well, in line with our expectations. We are currently working on several transactions for our clients and the pipeline for the rest of the year gives us grounds for optimism. Whilst we remain mindful that the UK is emerging from the pandemic and continued favourable market conditions cannot be guaranteed, our leading market position means that we are well placed to perform strongly. The Company maintains a strong balance sheet and financial resources well in excess of its regulatory requirements.
As previously announced, Jim Durkin, Chief Executive Officer will not be standing for re-election to the Board at today's Annual General Meeting of the Company and will be retiring from the Company. Immediately following the Annual General Meeting Julian Morse will take up the position of Chief Executive Officer and Jeremy Osler will also take up his role as an Executive Director of the Company.
