2020 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
FDM Group announces that its 2020 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at the Company's offices at 96-99 Queens Road, Brighton BN1 3XE on Tuesday 16 June 2020 at 10.30 am.
The 2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice of AGM") has been mailed to shareholders today and, in accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism, where it will be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
A copy of the Notice of AGM is also available on the "Shareholder Information" page within the "Investors" section of our website www.fdmgroup.com . A proxy form for the AGM is available on the same web page.
In light of current and anticipated public health guidelines, FDM Group is asking shareholders to comply with certain unprecedented but urgent measures for this year's AGM. These recommendations are designed to enable participation by shareholders in the business of the AGM, while balancing health and safety considerations. Under the "Stay at Home" measures imposed by the UK Government in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, public gatherings of more than two people are currently not permitted. As a result, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person. Anyone seeking to attend the meeting in person (beyond the two persons designated by the Board as being necessary to form a quorum) will be refused entry. The Board is taking these measures to safeguard the health of shareholders and other participants, and to make the AGM as safe as possible.
Shareholders wishing to vote on any of the matters of business at the AGM are therefore strongly encouraged to submit their votes in advance by proxy using one of the methods referred to in the Notice of AGM. Shareholders should appoint the chair of the AGM as their proxy to ensure that their vote is counted. Further details and instructions are set out in the Notice of AGM.
If shareholders have any questions or matters of concern in connection with the business of the meeting they may email FDM Group's Company Secretary ( mark.heather@fdmgroup.com ) and the Company will endeavour to provide a prompt response (see the Notice of AGM for further details).
