Notice of Annual General Meeting - Correction

 

Following the announcement made on 7 June 2022 giving notice of the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") of the Company to be held on 30 June 2022, and the publication and despatch of a circular to shareholders containing notice of the resolutions to be considered at the AGM (the "Notice") and form of proxy, it has come to the attention of the Company that the Notice contains a typographical error.

 

The explanatory notes at paragraph 2 contained on page 7 of the Notice incorrectly states that "Pursuant to regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended) and paragraph 18(c) of the Companies Act 2006 (Consequential Amendments) (Uncertificated Securities) Order 2009, the Company specifies that only those members registered on the Company's register of members at close of business on 27 June 2022 shall be entitled to attend, speak and vote at the Annual General Meeting (or if the meeting is adjourned, those members registered on the register of members of the Company not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting).".  The Notice should instead state that "…the Company specifies that only those members registered on the Company's register of members at 10am on 28 June 2022 shall be entitled to attend, speak and vote at the Annual General Meeting (or if the meeting is adjourned, those members registered on the register of members of the Company not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting).".

 

As this was a clerical error, no new Notice will be posted to shareholders; however, a copy of the corrected Notice is available on the following page of the Company's website:
