Publication of Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting
AGM Notice
A copy of the notice of the annual general meeting of the
Company (the "2021 AGM Notice"), to be held on Thursday, 6 May 2021
at 2.00 p.m. at White & Case LLP, 5 Old Broad Street, London,
EC2N 1DW (the "Annual General Meeting"), has been published today
on the Company's website at https://investors.avast.com/ .
Our preference had been to welcome shareholders in person to our
Annual General Meeting this year, particularly given the
constraints we faced in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However,
in light of the ongoing pandemic and the current timetable for
relaxing the restrictions imposed by the UK Government, regretfully
it is still not possible for us to hold our Annual General Meeting
in the normal way.
To comply with the current UK Government pandemic guidelines,
shareholders and proxies (other than those attending to form the
quorum which will be facilitated by the Company and such other
persons as the Chair may decide) will not be permitted to attend
the meeting in person. However, shareholder engagement is very
important to us and we encourage you to follow the proceedings of
the meeting virtually by joining the audio webcast of the meeting.
Further details of the meeting and how shareholders can engage with
the business of the meeting is included in the 2021 AGM Notice.
Given the constantly evolving nature of the situation, if the
guidelines should change materially before the date of the meeting,
we may adapt our proposed arrangements, working in accordance with
the latest legislation and guidance issued by the UK Government and
mindful of public health concerns. If the Board considers that
arrangements regarding attendance at the Annual General Meeting can
change, we will notify any changes as early as possible before the
date of the meeting. Shareholders should continue to monitor the
Company's website at https://investors.avast.com/ and regulatory
news services for any updates to the meeting arrangements.
