Due to the uncertainty surrounding public gatherings and the broader public health considerations, the Company recommends that shareholders do not attend the General Meeting in person. 

Shareholders wishing to attend the General Meeting in person should, providing attendance is permissible under the U.K. Government guidance or regulations in place at such time, register their intention to attend as soon as possible, by emailing [e-mail] no later than 11:00am on 2 September 2021. 

Shareholders should note that the Company will be implementing social distancing measures and other health and safety precautions, meaning that the available capacity to host attendees in person at the General Meeting will be limited and attendance in person may not therefore be possible for all who may wish to do so. 

Please refer to the GM Notice for details on how to vote by proxy and how to ask questions of the Board of Directors.
