Annual Report & Accounts, Notice of AGM & Board
Changes
Westminster Group Plc (AIM: WSG), a leading supplier of managed
services and technology-based security solutions worldwide,
confirms that its Report & Accounts for the year ended 31
December 2020 and the Notice of AGM has been posted to registered
shareholders.
Electronic versions of both documents are available on the
Company's website - www.wsg-corporate.com.
As is explained in the AGM notice, the Company's AGM is expected
to be held at the offices of PKF Littlejohn LLP, 15 Westferry
Circus, London, E14 4HD on 24 June 2021 at 11.00 a.m. (BST). Votes
may be submitted prior to the AGM by mail using the Form of Proxy
or in the case of CREST members, by utilising the CREST electronic
proxy appointment service.
The Board has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and
its implications for the manner in which the Annual General Meeting
will be held. It is the Board's intention to proceed with holding
the Annual General Meeting on 24 June 2021 at 11.00 a.m. (BST) as
an open meeting. Accordingly, Shareholders are invited to attend
this year's AGM in person. In February, the Government published
its "COVID-19 Response - Spring 2021" which set out the roadmap to
the easing of restrictions across England. Whilst it provides a
route back to a more normal way of life, it is unclear as to what
restrictions may be in place on the day of the Annual General
Meeting. Given the evolving nature of the situation, it may become
necessary to make alternative arrangements for the Annual General
Meeting and the manner in which it is held, should the restrictions
that are in place at the time of the meeting restrict or prevent
Shareholders from attending in person.
In such circumstances, the Company will notify Shareholders of
this change by means of an announcement and, to cover this
eventuality, Shareholders are encouraged to submit their proxy form
and to use their right to appoint the Chair of the Annual General
Meeting as their proxy. Shareholders can do this by using one of
the methods detailed in the notes to the Notice of Annual General
Meeting as soon as possible. It is important to note that the
submission of a proxy form in this manner will not preclude
Shareholders from attending the meeting in person, where this is
still possible.
Proxies must be received by the Company's registrars, Link
Group, by no later than 11.00 a.m. BST on 22 June 2021.
In addition, the Company also intends to hold an investor
webinar shortly after the AGM to present to shareholders unable to
attend in person an update on the Company's activities and trading.
Details will be made available on the Company's website nearer the
date of the AGM.
Board Changes
Mr Charles Cattaneo will be stepping down from the Board as a
Non-Executive Director with effect from the end of the Annual
General Meeting. The Company will update the market in due course
on his replacement.
Separately, the Company is pleased to announce that
Non-Executive Director, Mr Mawuli Ababio, has been appointed as
Deputy Chairman of the Company.
Commenting, Westminster's Chairman, Rt Hon Sir Tony Baldry,
said:
"We are sorry that, due to pressures on his time, Charles has
decided to step down from the Board. In the last two years he has
been a valued board member and a positive force in the Group. We
would like to sincerely thank him for his contribution.
"On a separate note, I am pleased to announce that our
non-executive director, Mr Mawuli Ababio, has been appointed as
Deputy Chairman. Mawuli has proved to be a real asset to the
business and his understanding and knowledge of emerging markets
has proven most helpful."
