The Rank Group Plc
Publication of Circular and Notice of General Meeting
Further to today's announcement of the successful
non-pre-emptive Fundraise ("Results Announcement"), The Rank Group
Plc ("Rank" or the "Company") announces that a general meeting of
the Company ("General Meeting") will be held at 11.30 a.m. on 23
November 2020 at the Company's registered office at TOR,
Saint-Cloud Way, Maidenhead, SL6 8BN, United Kingdom.
Pursuant to the Fundraise, 77,746,020 new Ordinary Shares
(representing approximately 19.9% of the Company's existing
Ordinary Shares) have been allotted at the Placing Price
conditional on Shareholder approval. The participation by Hong
Leong, a substantial shareholder pursuant to the Listing Rules, in
the Fundraise constitutes a related party transaction and is
therefore also subject to Shareholder approval.
An explanatory circular (the "Circular"), along with an
accompanying form of proxy to vote at the General Meeting, will be
posted to shareholders today.
The Circular and the Notice of General Meeting have been
submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority's National Storage
Mechanism (the " NSM " ) and will be available for inspection on
the NSM's website at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
T he Circular and the Notice of General Meeting will also be
available to view on the Company's website at
https://www.rank.com/
Please note that as a result of the constantly evolving COVID-19
situation and Her Majesty's Government's restrictions and guidance
on, amongst other things, public gatherings and social distancing,
the General Meeting will be held as a closed meeting and neither
Shareholders nor their representatives will be able to attend in
person. Given the restriction on attendance, Shareholders should
utilise electronic voting or submit a proxy vote in advance of the
General Meeting. Shareholders who wish to appoint a proxy, in the
current circumstances, should appoint the Chair of the meeting as
their proxy rather than a named person who will NOT be permitted to
attend.
Shareholders must submit their votes by proxy no later than
11.30 a.m. on 21 November 2020 .
Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this announcement
shall have the meaning given to them in the Circular or the Results
Announcement .
