Kropz Plc
("Kropz" or the "Company")
Update regarding General Meeting ("GM") Arrangements
This announcement provides an update to the arrangements for the Company's GM to be held on 23 July 2021 at 11 a.m., as detailed in the Notice of General Meeting published on 7 June 2021 and a copy of which can be obtained on the Company's website at www.kropz.com .
Following the Government's announcement on 12 July 2021, the Board notes that as of 19 July 2021, the remaining restrictions on social contact arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted. However, the public is being urged to exercise caution and the Board notes that an increase in infections is anticipated over the summer months. Although the Company is not expecting to be legally restricted in terms of attendance at the GM, the Board remains committed to protecting the health and well-being of its shareholders and of the general public. Therefore, it is regrettably the opinion of the Board that due to the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases reported in the UK, shareholders should not physically attend the GM. Accordingly, the Board strongly urges shareholders to consider whether travelling to and attending the GM would be necessary under the current circumstances. In any event, attendees will be required to wear face coverings and keep a distance between themselves and other attendees.
The Company will arrange for the minimum attendance required to form a quorum, to conduct the necessary business at the GM.
The Board is mindful that the GM provides an opportunity for shareholders to engage with the Board. Therefore, if shareholders have any questions or comments relating to the business of the meeting that they would like to ask the Board, then they are asked to submit those questions in writing via email to mark@kropz.com no later than 2 p.m. on Wednesday 21 July 2021. The board will publish a summary of any questions received which are of common interest, together with a written response on the Company's website as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the GM. Only questions from registered shareholders of the Company will be accepted.
