COVID-19 and the Annual General Meeting
Since the posting of the Notice of the 2020 Annual General
Meeting (AGM), to take place on Thursday 23 April 2020 at 11.00am,
the UK and Scottish Governments have announced compulsory measures
(the 'Stay at Home Measures') prohibiting, among other things,
public gatherings of more than two people. As a result, the Board
has decided that it is no longer practical or desirable to hold the
Company's AGM at 200 SVS, 200 St Vincent Street, Glasgow G2 5RQ, as
previously notified in the Notice of Meeting.
In the circumstances, the AGM will be held on the same date and
at the same time, but at the offices of the company at 5th Floor,
Asticus, 21 Palmer Street, London SW1H OAD, and will be restricted
to the formal business of the AGM with no corporate presentation or
questions. If the Stay at Home Measures remain in place for
England, the meeting will be restricted to two attendees (for
example the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) both of whom will
be eligible to count for the purposes of forming a quorum, in order
to comply with Government measures on gatherings that are
'essential for work purposes'. Other shareholders should not seek
to attend the AGM in person and will not be admitted.
The Board encourages all shareholders to exercise their vote by
appointing the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy and providing
voting instructions in advance of the AGM, in accordance with the
instructions explained in the Notice of AGM. At the AGM,
resolutions will be put to a vote on a poll, rather than on a show
of hands. This will result in a more accurate reflection of the
views of shareholders and ensure that your proxy votes are
recognised.
You can appoint a proxy with voting instructions using the
shareholder portal at https://shares.aggreko.com or by returning a
completed proxy card in accordance with the instructions set out in
the Notice of AGM . CREST members may use the CREST electronic
proxy appointment service, institutional investors may also use the
Proximity Platform as detailed in the Notice of Meeting. Please
note that the deadline for submitting proxy voting instructions is
11.00 am on Tuesday 21 April 2020.
Shareholders wishing to raise any questions relating to the
business of the AGM may do so by submitting them to Aggreko's
Investor Relations team ahead of the meeting at
Enquiries@irteam.aggreko.com . The Company will publish an
appropriate summary of responses on its website as soon as possible
after the meeting.
Please note that as announced on 23 March, the Board has
withdrawn its recommendation of the final dividend for the year
ended 31 December 2019, and accordingly that Resolution 3 will be
withdrawn at the AGM.
The situation in relation to COVID-19 continues to develop. The
Board encourages shareholders to monitor the Company's website and
regulatory news services for any updates in relation to the
AGM.
