The Company confirms that, in compliance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, an electronic copy of the Circular is available for download on the Company's website ( https://www.carrsgroup.com ) and has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and is available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
