("eEnergy" or "the Group")
Notice of Annual General Meeting
eEnergy (AIM: EAAS), a leading integrated Energy-Services business in the UK and Ireland, is pleased to announce that this year's AGM will be held be at the offices of Fieldfisher LLP at Riverbank House, 2 Swan Lane, London, EC4R 3TT at 11:00am on Friday 19 November 2021.
For the reasons given below, shareholders are strongly advised not to attend the venue in person and, instead, to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy. The Notice sets out the resolutions to be proposed, together with general notes for shareholders who wish to give proxy voting instructions.
The Board continues to monitor the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the priority to safeguard the wellbeing of our colleagues, shareholders and wider communities. Given the current situation, the Board has decided that this year's meeting should be scaled back and focus on the formal business only and has taken the decision to ask shareholders not to attend the meeting's physical venue this year, on the basis that the AGM will be immediately followed by an on-line Investor Meet Company presentation that shareholders are requested to attend instead of the AGM.
Voting and asking questions
The Company will convene the AGM with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders (which the Company will facilitate). The Company will include all valid proxy votes (whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form) in its polls at the AGM and the Chairman of the meeting will call for a poll on each resolution. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy. The Company accordingly requests that shareholders submit their proxy votes in respect of the resolutions as set out in this Notice as early as possible, electronically or by post in advance, in accordance with the instructions set out in this Notice.
Shareholders are encouraged to submit any questions for the Board to consider in respect of the business of the AGM. Questions should be submitted in advance by email by 15 November 2021 by sending them to shareholderquestions@eenergyplc.com with the title "eEnergy Group plc Shareholder Questions" and including the shareholder's full name. Shareholder questions will be responded to as appropriate before the AGM.
