Publication of Annual Report and Notice of AGM
In accordance with AIM Rule 20, Finsbury announces that the
Report & Accounts of the Company for the year ended 26 June
2021 and its Notice of Annual General Meeting ('AGM') have been
published today and are available to view and download from the

The Company's AGM will be held at The Parkgate Hotel, Westgate
Street, Cardiff, CF10 1DA at 9.00 a.m. on Thursday, 18 November
2021.
AGM Arrangements
Despite the relaxation of social distancing and gathering
restrictions in July, there remains some uncertainty as to what
regulations or public health guidance may be in place at the time
of the AGM, given the possibility of changing Covid-19 case numbers
after the publication of the Notice of AGM. In light of this
uncertainty, the Board strongly encourages shareholders to consider
carefully whether it is necessary for them to travel to and attend
the AGM in person this year and encourages all shareholders to
appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy and submit their
proxy votes in advance (by post, online or (for CREST members) via
CREST) whether they intend to attend the AGM or not.
The AGM will be broadcast live. In order to gain access to the
webcast, shareholders will be required to pre-register via the
following link www.bit.ly/FIFAGM2021 . Although the broadcast will
not be an interactive forum, shareholders are invited to submit
questions to the Board on matters to be discussed at the AGM by
email in advance. Questions should be submitted to
finsbury@almapr.co.uk by 6.00 p.m. on 16 November 2021. Please
title your email "FIF AGM Shareholder Questions" and include your
full name. Where appropriate, responses will be prepared and
delivered by the Board at the AGM via the webcast. The Company
reserves the right to respond only to questions put by shareholders
whose names are on the Company's register of members at 6.00 p.m.
on 16 November 2021.
Voting
Shareholders are encouraged to vote on the resolutions to be put
to the AGM by proxy. As in previous years , shareholders will not
receive a form of proxy for the AGM in the post. Instead,
shareholders will find instructions in the section of the AGM
Notice entitled "Notes" to enable them to vote electronically and
how to register to do so (or obtain a paper proxy card if
required). Shareholders are encouraged to appoint the Chairman of
the meeting as their proxy to ensure that their vote is counted in
the event that restrictions on gatherings due to Covid-19 return
before the AGM.
