NOTICE OF THE 2020 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ("AGM")
EVRAZ plc (LSE: EVR or the "Company") announces that its 2020
Annual General Meeting will be held at 2 Portman Street, London W1H
6DU at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on Tuesday 16 June 2020 .
The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has been closely
monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation. Following the UK
Government's introduction of its Stay at Home Measures for social
distancing and prohibition on non-essential travel and public
gatherings, unfortunately it will not be possible for Shareholders
to attend this year's AGM in person if such measures remain in
place.
The AGM will be convened with the minimum quorum of shareholders
present in order to conduct the business of the meeting and no
external shareholders will be admitted.
The Board strongly recommends that Shareholders vote on all
resolutions by submitting a Form of Proxy to appoint the Chair of
the AGM as their proxy. If a Shareholder appoints a person other
than the Chair of the AGM as their proxy, that other proxy will not
be able to attend the AGM nor vote.
Ensuring that Shareholders are able to raise questions on the
business of the AGM remains a key priority for the Board. Any
questions on the business of the AGM should be submitted in advance
of the AGM to IR@EVRAZ.COM by no later than 11:00 a.m. on Friday 12
June 2020. The Company will endeavour to provide responses to these
questions and, where appropriate, will publish answers to
frequently asked questions on the Company's website
(www.evraz.com).
Shareholders should continue to monitor the Company's website
and announcements for any updates regarding the AGM.
As noted on page 140 of the Company's 2019 Annual Report and
Accounts, in February 2020 the Board became aware that certain
dividends paid in 2018 and 2019 had been made otherwise than in
accordance with the Companies Act 2006; due to an administrative
error, interim accounts were not filed at Companies House prior to
the dividends being made. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation,
this year's AGM will focus only on essential business and therefore
the resolutions to address this administrative error will be
proposed at next year's AGM. There will be no changes to dividend
payments paid previously and this will have no impact on the
Company's ability to pay future dividends. The Board has taken the
necessary steps to ensure that, in future, such administrative
errors do not arise in relation to the payment of dividends.
The following documents have been posted to shareholders:
- Annual Report 2019
- Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
- Form of Proxy for the Annual General Meeting
In compliance with 9.6.1 of the Listing Rules, copies of the
above documents have been submitted to the National Storage
Mechanism and will be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
