Annual General Meeting 2021 - Change of Arrangements
This announcement provides an update to the arrangements for the
Company's 2021 annual general meeting ("AGM" or "Meeting"), as
detailed in the Notice of Annual General Meeting published on 20
May 2021 ("Notice") and a copy of which can be obtained on the
Company's website at https://www.thg.com/agm/ .
Following the UK Government's announcement on Tuesday that
certain additional areas in the UK (including the Greater
Manchester Combined Authority, where the Company's Head Office is
based and within which the AGM venue is located, and parts of
Lancashire) are being advised to avoid indoor gatherings and
minimise travel to reduce the spread of the Delta variant of
Covid-19, the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") has taken the
decision that, in the interests of the safety and wellbeing of all
of its stakeholders, the AGM will be held as a closed meeting. As
the AGM will be conducted as a closed meeting, it will now be held
at Floor 6, 4M Building, Malaga Avenue, Manchester Airport,
Manchester M90 3RR and shareholders are advised not to attend in
person as they will be unable to enter the venue.
Instead, the Company strongly encourages shareholders to ensure
that their vote is counted by completing and returning the Form of
Proxy accompanying the Notice and in doing so appoint the Chair of
the Meeting as their proxy. The Form of Proxy must be sent to
Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 6DA and
received no later than 12:30 p.m. on 22 June 2021, being 48 hours
before the AGM. Shareholders may alternatively appoint a proxy
electronically by no later than 48 hours before the AGM, being
12:30 p.m. on 22 June 2021. As shareholders are not permitted to
attend the AGM in person, the Company recommends that all
shareholders appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to
ensure their votes count. Information on how to appoint a proxy
electronically is given in Note 2 of the Explanatory Notes to the
Notice.
The proceedings of the Meeting will be available to view online
for shareholders who are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM. To
be able to view the AGM proceedings online, shareholders require to
register with the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, by emailing
Customer@equiniti.com and registration requests must be received by
Equiniti by no later than 5.00 p.m. on 18 June 2021. Following
registration the Company will provide shareholders with the
relevant details to access the Meeting online by no later than
12:30 p.m. on 22 June 2021. Should any shareholder not receive the
details to access the Meeting online by this time they should
contact Equiniti by emailing Customer@equiniti.com . Please note
that viewing the Meeting via the online facility does not
constitute attendance in law and shareholders will not have the
ability to speak or vote at the Meeting.
The Company has also made provision for shareholders to submit
questions in advance of the AGM: questions should be emailed to
AGM@thg.com by no later than 12:30 p.m. on 17 June 2021. The
Company will consider all questions received on or prior to this
time and, as detailed in the Notice, will publish answers to such
questions, to the extent considered appropriate, on its website at
https://www.thg.com/investor-relations/ by 12:30 p.m. on 18 June
2021. Please note that some questions may be grouped together.
Whilst the Board acknowledges that this change of arrangements
is not the ideal scenario it believes that, in the current
circumstances, there is no alternative to ensure the health, safety
and security of attendees and to allow the business of the Meeting
to be properly transacted. The Company will continue to monitor the
situation and the latest available public health guidance and will
provide any further updates in relation to the Meeting by an RIS
announcement as and when necessary. Any further updates will also
be posted on the Company's website at
https://www.thg.com/investor-relations/ .
