Notice of Annual General Meeting
Vodafone Group Plc announces today that its 2020 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held on Tuesday, 28 July 2020 at 11.00am.
In connection with this, the Notice of AGM and the Forms of Proxy have been posted or made available to shareholders today. The Notice of AGM is also available on the Company's website at vodafone.com/agm .
Copies of the above mentioned documents have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism , in accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1.
I n light of the current UK Government measures and the Company's desire to protect the health and safety of shareholders and employees, the AGM this year will be run as a closed meeting. Shareholders should not attempt to attend the AGM in person as entry will be refused. If there are any changes to the current arrangements for the AGM, the information will be made available on our website.
Given the current restrictions on attendance , shareholders are encouraged, regardless of the number of shares owned, to submit a proxy vote in advance. It is recommended that the c hair of the AGM is appointed as the proxy to ensure the vote is counted as other named proxies will not be permitted to attend the meeting.
Vodafone is keen to maintain dialogue with shareholders. Shareholders are, therefore, encouraged to watch the 2020 results presentation which is available at vodafone.com/investors and send any questions or comments by email to vodafoneagm@computershare.co.uk for the directors to consider by 5 pm on 10 July.
An AGM presentation by the Chairman of the Board, and a questions and answers session in which some members of the Board and the Chairman will address a representative selection of questions pre-submitted by shareholders, will be available at vodafone.com/agm from 11:00am on the date of the AGM.
