Springfield Properties plc
("Springfield" or the "Company")
Notice of Annual General Meeting
Springfield Properties plc (AIM: SPR), a leading housebuilder in Scotland offering private and affordable housing, gives notice that the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Company will be held on Wednesday 27 October 2021 at 12.30pm at Springfield's office at Alexander Fleming House, 8 Southfield Drive, Elgin, IV30 6GR.
The Board is closely monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and public health concerns in the UK, including the related social distancing requirements, public health guidance and legislation issued by the UK and Scottish Governments. As at the date of this announcement, indoor public gatherings in Scotland remain subject to a number of restrictions.
The Board recognises that the AGM represents an opportunity to engage with shareholders and provides a forum that enables them to ask questions of, and speak directly with, the Board. However, in light of current restrictions, the continued unpredictability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty relating to the lifting, or potential reintroduction of further, restrictions, the Board is strongly discouraging shareholders from attending (or seeking to attend) this year's AGM in person. The Company will make arrangements such that the legal requirements to hold the AGM can be satisfied through the attendance of a minimum number of shareholders and the format of the AGM will be purely functional - the AGM will comprise only the formal votes without any trading update or Q&A and will end immediately following the business of the meeting.
Shareholders are therefore strongly encouraged to vote online or submit a proxy vote in advance of the AGM.
In addition, shareholders are invited to submit any questions they may have by email to Andrew Todd, Company Secretary, by 12.30pm on Monday 25 October 2021. Responses to questions will be published on the Company's website following the AGM.
The Notice of AGM has been published on the Corporate Documents page in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website and has been posted to shareholders:
