London Stock Exchange Group plc Annual General Meeting
Update
London Stock Exchange Group plc (LSEG / the Company) announces
the following changes to the format of its Annual General Meeting
(AGM) to be held at 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday, 21 April 2020.
As a result of the continuing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,
the Company notes the restrictions on public gatherings imposed by
the Government. The Company wishes to notify its shareholders that
physical attendance in person at the AGM will not be possible. The
Board encourages shareholders to vote electronically or to appoint
the Chair of the meeting as their proxy with their voting
instructions.
The AGM will now be convened at 10 Paternoster Square, London,
EC4M 7LS, rather than Hilton London Bankside Hotel given the venue
has closed due to the current environment. The meeting will take
place with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders, which
will be facilitated by LSEG in line with the Government's strict
social distancing advice. All valid proxy votes, whether submitted
electronically or in hard copy form, will be included in the poll
to be taken at the meeting.
Shareholders are urged to register their proxy appointment
electronically via LSEG's Registrar's website www.sharevote.co.uk
by 10.30 a.m. on Friday, 17 April 2020. If shareholders prefer to
return a hard copy Form of Proxy (Proxy), they should do so in
accordance with the instructions on the Proxy, which was
distributed with the Notice of AGM. Where necessary, you should
contact the registered shareholder (the custodian or broker) who
looks after your investments in the Company on your behalf, in
order to vote your shares.
Shareholders can also call the shareholder helpline on 0371 384
2544 (or +44 121 415 7047, from overseas) if they have questions
regarding the Proxy submission process.
The Board recommends voting in favour of all resolutions
contained in the Notice of AGM as, in the Board's opinion, they are
in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a
whole.
The address that the Chairman planned to deliver at the meeting
will be posted on the website and distributed via RNS. Any
shareholders who had intended to ask questions are invited to
contact the Company as they would usually by emailing
irinfo-r@lseg.com .
We are disappointed that we are having to adopt these measures
and appreciate our shareholders understanding in these
unprecedented circumstances.
Lisa Condron, Group Company Secretary
