Hays plc (the "Company")
PUBLICATION OF THE HAYS PLC ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021 AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Hays plc has today, in accordance with LR 9.6.1 R of the Listing Rules, submitted to the FCA copies of the following documents:
- Hays plc Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 (the "2021 Annual Report")
- Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting (the "2021 Notice")
- Proxy Form for the 2021 Annual General Meeting
These have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
The 2021 Annual Report and 2021 Notice are also available on the Hays plc website at haysplc.com/investors/annual-report-2021 and haysplc.com/investors/shareholder-services/agm and have today been sent to shareholders.
The Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting will be held at the Company's offices at UBS, 5 Broadgate, London EC2M 2QS on Wednesday 10 November 2021 at 12 noon.
At the time of writing it is uncertain what regulations or public health guidance may be in place at the time of the AGM which may restrict the number of people who can gather in public. Any changes to the arrangements for the AGM will be communicated to shareholders before the AGM through our website (haysplc.com) and, where appropriate, by a regulatory information service announcement.
In light of this uncertainty, we do strongly encourage shareholders to submit a proxy vote in advance of the AGM and to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy, rather than a named person who, if circumstances change, may not be able to attend the meeting. Further details on how to do this are set out on page 6 of the 2021 Notice. If the meeting is unable to proceed as proposed and you wish to ask Board members questions, and/or you remain reluctant to attend gatherings of people, registered shareholders may submit their questions to the Board in advance of the meeting by sending an email to AGM@hays.com, by no later than close of business on Monday, 8 November 2021 and the Company will answer these directly as soon as practicable.
