FAIRFAX ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO ANNUAL MEETING
March 16 2020 - 7:55AM
Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (TSX: FFH and FFH.U),
recognizing the widespread cancellation of public events as a
protection of individual and public safety in the face of the
COVID-19 pandemic, with great regret has cancelled the attendance
of its directors and the officers of all of its subsidiaries and
Fairfax group companies at its April 16 annual meeting and has
cancelled all booths and other events (dinners, etc.) originally
contemplated for that meeting. Therefore, shareholders will not be
able to attend the meeting in person.
There will be a webcast of the formal meeting
and of a presentation by Prem Watsa, Fairfax’s Chair and CEO,
following the formal meeting and, potentially, a Q&A carried
out through the webcast. Instructions for how to access the webcast
will be published in the near future. Shareholders are encouraged
to vote by proxy.
Mr. Watsa said, “For 34 years, we have looked
forward to meeting you, our loyal long term shareholders at our AGM
and, with our Presidents, answering all your questions. This year,
for your safety, and for the safety of all our employees from the
global pandemic, we have, unfortunately, cancelled all our
activities during our AGM. However, for this year only, we will
webcast our meeting and will look to have a format for questions
and answers. More on this soon. We will resume our normal annual
meeting activities next year.”
Fairfax is a holding company which, through its
subsidiaries, is engaged in property and casualty insurance and
reinsurance and the associated investment management.
