2020 Annual General Meeting and publication of Notice of
Meeting
Following the announcement on 31 March, the Company has now
revised its plans for its Annual General Meeting (AGM), as a result
of the COVID-19 virus pandemic. In order to tackle the pandemic,
the UK Government announced a number of mandatory measures in
relation to social distancing to reduce the transmission of
COVID-19. These measures include the prevention of public
gatherings of more than two people, unless essential for work
purposes, and the prevention of non-essential travel. As a result,
the 2020 AGM will be run as a closed meeting and will be held on
Wednesday 27 May 2020 at 12:00pm (BST) at the Company's office at 2
Sheraton Street, London, W1F 8BH. The previously announced dividend
payment date of 27 May 2020 will now be 1 June 2020, subject to
shareholder approval. The ex-dividend and record dates remain as 7
May 2020 and 11 May 2020 respectively. A copy of the Notice of
Meeting can be found on the Company's website at www.gocogroup.com
.
The health and wellbeing of our Shareholders, employees,
advisers and of the general public is of upmost importance to the
Board and the Company is committed to minimising the unnecessary
movement of people at this time. As such, the arrangements for the
AGM are as follows:
-- Attendance will be limited to essential personnel only to
ensure that the meeting is quorate to conduct the business of the
AGM (attendance by these persons will be considered essential for
work purposes only);
-- Other shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM in
person and on the grounds of safety, will be refused entry;
-- The format of the meeting will be restricted to the formal business of the AGM only.
Reminder to vote by proxy
The AGM is an important event in the Company's corporate
calendar and provides an opportunity for shareholders to vote on
important resolutions for the conduct of the business and affairs
of the Company. Accordingly, the Board encourages participation of
all shareholders by:
1. Appointing the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy.
2. Submitting a form of proxy as soon as possible and in any
event by no later than 12.00pm (BST) on Monday, 25 May 2020 to
ensure that their votes are counted. If a shareholder appoints a
person other than the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy, that
other proxy will not be able to attend the AGM.
3. Re-submitting a new form of proxy to appoint the Chairman of
the AGM to replace any form already submitted which appoints a
person other than the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy.
A form of proxy may be submitted electronically by following the
links provided at www.sharevote.co.uk or by returning the form to
the Company's registrar, Equiniti. Details of how to submit proxies
are set out on page 7 of the Notice of AGM that was circulated to
shareholders on 24 April 2020. Proxy instructions must be received
no later than 12.00pm (BST) on Monday, 25 May 2020 or not less than
48 hours before the time of the holding of any adjourned AGM. For
shares held through CREST, proxy appointments may be submitted via
the CREST proxy voting system.
The Board will continue to monitor the situation and may, if
necessary, make further changes to the arrangements for the AGM.
Shareholders should therefore continue to monitor the Company's
website and RNS announcements.
The Board would like to thank shareholders for their
understanding during this challenging time.
