Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM")
The Company announces that it will hold its AGM at 10.00am local time on Wednesday, 13 May 2020 at the Company's head office at Building One, Chiswick Park, 566 Chiswick High Road, London, W4 5BE.
The continuing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to the imposition of severe restrictions on public gatherings. As a result the AGM venue is expected to remain closed until after the date of the AGM. The Company therefore wishes to notify its shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM will not be possible. The meeting will take place with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders, which will be facilitated by the Company in line with the Government's strict social distancing advice.
The Board encourages shareholders to vote electronically and to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy with their voting instructions. All valid proxy votes, whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form, will be included in the polls to be taken at the meeting.
We are disappointed that we are having to adopt these measures and appreciate our shareholders' understanding in these unprecedented circumstances.
Auditors
Subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, the Company has appointed BDO LLP as the Company's auditor for the year ending 31 December 2020 following a formal tender process. The Company's current auditor, Deloitte LLP has deposited with the Company a Statement of the Circumstances connected with its ceasing to hold office confirming that there are no matters that need to be brought to the attention of members or creditors of the Company for the purposes of Section 519 of the Companies Act 2006.
