2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ARRANGEMENTS
The Notice states that the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") is scheduled to be held at Davy House, Dawson Street, Dublin 2, Ireland on 1 July 2021 at 11.00 a.m.
The Company plans to conduct the AGM in accordance with the Irish Government's COVID-19 related public health measures and public health advice. Shareholders should expect the AGM to take place under constrained circumstances.
The Company strongly encourages shareholders on this occasion to vote by proxy. The AGM will be as brief as possible, observing physical distancing measures, and the venue will be vacated promptly after the AGM. The Company will ensure that all legal requirements of the meeting, in accordance with its Articles of Association, are satisfied with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders (which will be facilitated by the Company) and physical distancing measures are in place. The Company reserves the right to refuse entry to the meeting where reasonably necessary to comply with COVID-19 related public health measures and advice.
The Company will continue to closely monitor the developing situation around COVID-19, including the latest Government guidance, and how this may affect the arrangements for the AGM. Consequently, the AGM is subject to change, possibly at short notice. If it becomes necessary or appropriate to revise the current arrangements for the AGM, further information will be made available as quickly as possible by RNS and on its website at: www.candcgroupplc.com/AGM2021.
SHAREHOLDER QUESTIONS
While personal attendance by shareholders is restricted, the Company recognises the importance of continuing engagement in the lead up to and during the meeting. Shareholders can submit questions for the Board in advance of the meeting by emailing the Company Secretary at company.secretary@candcgroup.ie, stating your name and Investor Code (as printed on your share certificate or obtained through the Company's registrar, Link Registrars Limited). Any questions should be submitted by 11.00 a.m. on 29 June 2021. Where appropriate, answers to frequently asked questions will be published on the company website in due course.
To facilitate shareholder communication, the AGM will also be broadcast by video webcast and conference call. Authenticated shareholders accessing the AGM by video webcast or conference call can submit questions live during the meeting. These questions will be relayed via a moderator to the Chair of the meeting. Details of the video webcast and conference call will be posted on the Company's website at: www.candcgroupplc.com/AGM2021 .
VOTING
The return of a Form of Proxy does not preclude a registered shareholder from attending the meeting and voting in person should he or she wish to do so. However, shareholders are on this occasion strongly encouraged to appoint a proxy. The Board is actively following developments around COVID-19 and will issue further information by RNS announcement and on the Company's website if it becomes necessary or appropriate to make any alternative arrangements.
