Annual General Meeting Update

Holders Technology, the supplier of materials for printed circuit board manufacture and provider of lighting and control solutions, announces the following update regarding its Annual General Meeting ("AGM").  The AGM will be held at Monkwood Cottage, Whitakers Way, Loughton IG10 1SQ on Friday 29 May 2020 at 12.30 p.m.

Covid-19

In response to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the UK Government has introduced new laws to prevent individuals engaging in non-essential travel and attending public gatherings of more than two people, save where essential for work purposes.  The new law means that this year's AGM will be held in a format different to that of previous years, and shareholders will not be permitted to attend this year's AGM.  Shareholders are therefore being requested to have regard to their own safety and that of others and not to travel to the meeting.  Any shareholders attempting to gain access to the AGM will be excluded from the meeting on grounds of public safety.

While the pandemic restricts the Company's ability to follow its usual AGM format, the Company is still legally required to hold its AGM and the Company intends to do so using the 'essential work purposes' exemption under the new laws.  This requires shareholder attendance at the AGM to be limited to only the two shareholders required to form a quorum under our Articles of Association.

Although shareholders will not be able to attend the 2020 AGM in person, they will still be able to ensure their votes are counted by submitting their proxies in advance, either by email or by post.  Shareholders will also be able to submit questions in advance of the AGM, and answers to questions on key themes will be displayed on www.holderstechnology.com/investors/shareholder-information/ as soon as is practically possible.  Details of how to vote and submit questions in advance of the AGM, by email, can be found within the Notes to the Form of Proxy.
