Pires Investments plc
("Pires" or the "Company")
Posting of Notice of Annual General Meeting
The Company announces that a Notice of Annual General Meeting has been posted to shareholders of the Company convening a meeting to be held on 24 June 2020 at 11.00 a.m.
A copy of the Notice of Annual General Meeting will be available to be downloaded from the Company's website at www.piresinvestments.com .
Please note that arrangements for the Annual General Meeting this year are different from those of previous years. As it is expected significant restrictions on personal movement to still be in place due to Covid-19, the Company is utilising the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 and its Articles of Association to convene and hold this year's Annual General Meeting as a virtual meeting, which is explained in the letter from the Chairman set out on pages 4 to 6 of the Notice. All voting of the resolutions at the AGM will be conducted on a poll, which means that you should submit your proxy as soon as possible. There will be a limited opportunity to submit a separate poll card in a short interval after the virtual meeting formally concludes.
The platform the Company intends to use will allow shareholders the option to submit a separate poll card as they "exit" the electronic meeting but to ease administration shareholders are requested to lodge proxies in advance of the meeting wherever possible.
Full details of the operation and arrangements for the Annual General Meeting are set out in the Notice of AGM. The Company will also use this opportunity to adopt new articles of association with more comprehensive virtual and semi-virtual meetings provisions.
