We have prepared for this AGM based on the anticipated status of the UK Government's Roadmap out of Lockdown at the date of the Meeting, at which time some restrictions are likely to remain in place in relation to public gatherings. Shareholders are encouraged to participate in the AGM by voting by proxy and by submitting any questions in advance of the Meeting. Further details on both of these options is provided overleaf.
