In light of the current situation with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Board considers the well-being of Shareholders and attendees as a top priority. On 26 March 2020, the Stay at Home Measures were passed into law in England and Wales, with immediate effect, in statutory instruments (2020/350 in England and 2020/353 in Wales) made pursuant to the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. Under these restrictions, public gatherings of more than two people are not permitted. Accordingly, Shareholders are not allowed to attend the General Meeting in person and are advised to submit their votes by proxy. The only attendees who will be permitted entry to the meeting will be those who will need to be present to form the quorum to allow the business to be conducted. The voting will be conducted on a poll rather than a show of hands. We will update Shareholders in the event that alternative arrangements prove to be necessary
