Notice of AGM Changes
In the Notice of AGM circulated on 28 May 2021, the Company
announced it would hold its Annual General Meeting at the offices
of PKF Littlejohn LLP ("PKF"), 15 Westferry Circus, London, E14 4HD
on 24 June 2021 at 11.00 a.m. (BST) and with all shareholders
invited to attend the meeting in person, should they wish to do so.
The Company also notified shareholders in that Notice of AGM that
the Board was closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and that it
may become necessary to make alternative arrangements should
restrictions still be in place at the time of the meeting.
Following the announcement made by the Prime Minster on 14 June
2021 that the COVID-19 restrictions will not now be lifted on 21
June 2021, as originally expected, but extended to 19 July 2021,
certain changes to the arrangements for the AGM will now need to be
made. In particular, PKF have advised the Company that the maximum
permitted number of persons that will now be able to attend the AGM
in person will be limited to no more than ten people.
The Board would like to confirm that the Company still intends
to hold its AGM at the offices of PKF on the appointed date and
time. However, given that attendees at the meeting will now be
limited to ten persons, shareholders are therefore being encouraged
not to attend the meeting in person anymore. In order to maximise
the opportunity for a small number of shareholders who can and do
wish to attend the meeting, the Board will limit its own attendance
to three and with no advisors present. That will leave space for up
to seven shareholders to attend. These spaces for additional
shareholders will need to be pre-booked and will be allocated on a
first come first served basis. Shareholders may register their
interest to attend the meeting by contacting the Company Secretary
together with proof of their shareholding at cosec@wg-plc.com The
Company Secretary will confirm to all candidates whether or not
they have been successful.
The Board recognises the importance of shareholder engagement
and is conscious that, in light of the COVID-19 restrictions, the
Company's recent general meetings have had to be held with only the
minimum number of shareholders in attendance to meet the minimum
quorum requirements for those meetings. In view of this and the
above and, in order to give all shareholders a chance to hear
proceedings and ask any questions that they may have, the Company
will provide access to the AGM through the Investor Meet Company
platform. Shareholders who wish to do so should use the following
link to register: https://bit.ly/35pkt9t
Questions can also be submitted pre-event to
westminster@walbrookpr.com or in real time during the presentation
via the "Ask a Question" function.
It is important to note that, whilst the platform allows
shareholders to follow the AGM and ask questions of the Board, the
platform does not allow shareholders to vote at the meeting.
Accordingly, shareholders are strongly encouraged to return their
duly completed form of proxy and to appoint the Chairman as their
proxy at the meeting in accordance with the instructions set out in
the notes to the Notice of AGM as soon as possible, if they have
not done so already. In any event, proxies must be received by the
Company's registrars, Link Group, by no later than 11.00 a.m. BST
on 22 June 2021.
