Annual General Meeting ("AGM") 2020
The Company's Annual General Meeting is to be held at 12:00 noon on 21 May 2020.
Following the compulsory COVID-19 'Stay at Home Measures' imposed by the UK Government on 23 March 2020 prohibiting, among other things, all non-essential travel and public gatherings of more than two people the Board will be implementing changes to the usual AGM arrangements as set out below:
- The Company expects only one Director and another shareholder representative to be in attendance in person at the venue for quorum purposes to conduct the business of the meeting.
- No other Directors will be present in person.
- Shareholders will not be permitted to attend the Company's AGM in person and, if, they attempt to do so, will be refused entry to the meeting in line with the Stay at Home Measures and under the Company's Articles of Association.
- There will be no update on trading or other management statements given at the AGM.
- Relevant AGM related questions from shareholders can be raised in advance of the AGM by email to 2020AGM@centralasiametals.com and in so far as relevant to the business of the AGM will be responded to by email and taken into account as appropriate at the AGM itself.
- Voting at the AGM will be carried out by way of a poll so that the votes cast in advance and the votes of all shareholders appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy can be taken into account.
- As usual, the results of the AGM will be announced as soon as practical after it has taken place.
Shareholders wishing to vote on any of the matters of business at the AGM are therefore strongly encouraged to:
1. Submit their votes as soon as possible in advance of the meeting and in any case, by 12 noon on 19 May 2020 through the proxy and electronic voting facilities and to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy for this purpose. See the notice of meeting for full details.
2. Submit any questions in connection with the business of the meeting in advance.
3. Look out for any updates in connection with the AGM via RNS and on the Company's website.
