1 Regulatory News Service Announcement, dated 12 May
2020
re: Update
on 2020 AGM arrangements
12 May 2020
Lloyds Banking Group plc (the "Company")
Update on the important changes to our AGM as a result of
COVID-19
On 3 April 2020, we published an update to shareholders to inform
them of some important expected changes to our Annual General
Meeting ("AGM") as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
measures put in place to reduce the transmission of COVID-19,
including the prohibition on individuals engaging in non-essential
travel and public gatherings. As stated in the notice of AGM
published on 19 March 2020, this year's AGM is scheduled to take
place on Thursday, 21 May 2020 at 11.00 am.
The Board has continued to monitor developments in relation to the
COVID-19 pandemic closely and the health and wellbeing of the
Company's shareholders, customers and employees continue to remain
of paramount importance. As a result, and in line with the updated
measures from the UK and Scottish Governments, we can now confirm
that this year's AGM must follow a different format and will,
unfortunately, not be open to shareholders in the usual
way.
Our AGM will be held with only the minimum number of shareholders
present as required to form a quorum under the Company's articles
of association, who will be officers or employees of Lloyds Banking
Group. To ensure safety, other shareholders will not be
able to gain access to the AGM on the day.
For shareholders who have not yet submitted their votes, proxy
appointments or voting instructions we ask that these are provided
as soon as possible and received by Equiniti no later
than 11.00 am on Tuesday, 19 May
2020 in order to be valid.
To ensure that shareholders' votes are counted, the Board strongly
encourages shareholders to exercise their right to vote by
appointing the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to exercise their
right to vote at the AGM in accordance with their
instructions.
The results of the votes on the proposed resolutions will be
announced in the normal way as soon as practicable after the
conclusion of the AGM.
Virtual shareholder event
In recognition of the importance of shareholders being given the
opportunity to ask questions of the Board, and in order to provide
a business update during these unprecedented times, we will be
webcasting a pre-recorded presentation on Thursday, 21 May 2020 at
12.00 pm. During this presentation, shareholders will hear updates
from our Chairman, Lord Blackwell and our Chief Executive Officer,
António Horta-Osório, who will also be answering
pre-submitted questions from shareholders.
Shareholders can submit their questions by email
to ShareholderQuestions@LloydsBanking.com with
the subject line "AGM 2020". While it may not be possible to
possible to answer all questions during the broadcast, a personal
email or written response will be provided to all shareholders, and
responses to questions submitted by shareholders which are of
common interest will also be posted to our website. Shareholders
are reminded, however, that personal issues as customers are not
appropriate matters for the AGM.
Shareholders can visit
www.lloydsbankinggroup.com/Investors/shareholder-info/shareholder-meetings/
for further information on this year's AGM.
We are disappointed that we are unable to have shareholders in
attendance at this year's AGM and thank shareholders for their
understanding in these unprecedented circumstances. We trust that
this virtual event continues to underline our commitment to our
shareholders.
