Intelligent Ultrasound Group plc (AIM: IUG), the 'classroom to clinic' ultrasound company, specialising in artificial intelligence (AI) software and simulation, announces that the following documents have been published on the Company's website www.intelligentultrasound.com/reports-presentations/ .
· 2021 Report and Accounts;
· Notice of 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM Notice); and
· Form of Proxy
The Company has historically adopted a higher standard of governance which recommends all Directors offer themselves for re-election annually. To ensure that this higher standard of governance is not in conflict with the Articles of Association, the Company is proposing a resolution at this year's AGM to amend the Articles to require all Directors to retire prior to offering themselves for re-election annually.
At this year's AGM, all Directors will therefore retire. The biographical details of the Directors who are offering themselves for re-election at the meeting are set out in the annual report and accounts and appear on the Company's website.
Professor Nazar Amso and David Baynes, who have been Directors within the Group respectively for 17 and 12 years, will be retiring from the Board and not standing for re-election. The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank each of Professor Nazar Amso, the founder of the original Company, and David Baynes, the representative of the original major investor, for their significant contribution to the Company over the past years.
Printed copies of the 2021 Report and Accounts and the 2022 AGM Notice have been posted to those shareholders that have requested hard copies.
The 2022 AGM will be held at the Memery Crystal's offices at 165 Fleet Street, London EC4A 2DY at 11:00am on 22 June 2022.
