Notice of Annual General Meeting
Lookers plc will hold its Annual General Meeting at 10.00 am on
Monday 29 June 2020 at Lookers House, Cardale Park, Harrogate,
North Yorkshire HG3 1RY.
The Company has, today, posted out a copy of the Notice of
Annual General Meeting to shareholders.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.1, a copy of the Notice of Annual
General Meeting and the Proxy form has been submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism and will be available for viewing
shortly at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
The Notice of Meeting is also available on the Company's website:
www.lookersplc.com/investors/results-centre
As set out in the Notice of Meeting, and to comply with public
health and safety legal requirements currently in force,
shareholders will not be permitted to attend the 2020 Annual
General Meeting in person.
On 20 May 2020 the Government published a draft Bill which makes
certain temporary changes to the way in which AGMs can be held to
allow companies greater flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic.
There is a provision within the draft Bill which would allow the
Company to postpone this year's AGM up until 30 September 2020,
which is three months longer than is ordinarily allowed under the
Companies Act 2006. If this Bill comes into force ahead of 29 June
2020 the Company may choose to utilise the extension to enable a
small postponement to the same date as the "accounts meeting" which
will be held by the end of August 2020. We request that
shareholders continue to monitor the Company's website where we
will be making any relevant announcements, and we will also comply
with the requirements for rearranged meetings set out in our
articles of association.
Split AGM and Accounts Meeting
On 10 March 2020, we announced that we were delaying the
publication of our results for the financial year ended 31 December
2019. These results and the annual report and accounts are expected
to be published later this month.
As a result, the standard shareholder resolutions relating to
receiving the audited financial statements and the auditors' and
directors' reports, approving the directors' remuneration report
and policy and the appointment and remuneration of our auditors,
will be tabled at a separate "accounts meeting" of shareholders to
be held by the end of August 2020. Notice of this general meeting
will be given to shareholders in due course.
Shareholders should note that the Company will continue to
operate the existing shareholder approved directors' remuneration
policy until the proposed "accounts meeting" when the Company will
seek shareholder approval for a new policy.
