Kin and Carta plc
Notice of General Meeting
Kin and Carta plc (the 'Company') today announces that it is convening a general meeting of the Company (the 'General Meeting') to be held at 2.30pm on Tuesday, 21 September 2021 at The Spitfire Building, 71 Collier Street, London N1 9BE to consider a resolution to amend the Company's articles of association ('Articles') in order to confirm the Company's commitment to responsible business practices.
In the Company's annual report and accounts published last year, the Company stated its ambition to reflect the current responsible business operating model of the Company by progressing with B Corp certification across the Kin + Carta group, with a view to achieving certification by the end of 2021. The B Corp certification process is an internationally recognised independent responsible business framework to assist companies to become more responsible by considering the impact of their decisions on their clients, community, people, suppliers and the environment.
To formalise and reflect the current responsible business operating model of the Company and to achieve B Corp certification, the Company is proposing to amend its Articles to include specified wording committing to a "triple bottom line" approach to business, seeking to balance considerations around people, profit and planet as part of directors' decision making. At the General Meeting shareholders will therefore be asked to approve the necessary amendment to the Articles, further details of which are set out in a combined Circular and Notice of General Meeting published today.
The Company confirms that copies of a combined Circular and Notice of General Meeting of the Company and the Form of Proxy in relation to the General Meeting have today been posted or made available to shareholders.
The Company has also today posted a letter concerning electronic communications (the 'Letter') to shareholders who continue to receive hard copies of documents published by the Company.
The Notice of General Meeting, Form of Proxy and Letter (together, the 'Shareholder Documents') have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
The Shareholder Documents will shortly be available to download from the Company's investor website at https://investors.kinandcarta.com/ under Shareholder Information.
