Annual General Meeting and COVID-19
Nichols plc, the diversified soft drinks Group, provides the
following update concerning arrangements for its Annual General
Meeting (AGM).
The Company considers the safety and wellbeing of both its
Shareholders and employees to be of paramount importance and with
this in mind, the Company's revised plans for its AGM are set out
below. These arrangements have been made to comply with the current
measures regarding restrictions on travel, limited gatherings and
the 'stay at home' instructions introduced by the UK
Government.
As previously advised, the AGM will take place at 11am on 29
April 2020 at Nichols plc, Laurel House, Woodlands Park, Ashton
Road, Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, WA12 0HH.
The AGM will be a closed meeting and Shareholders will not be
permitted to attend in person. Please do not travel to the meeting,
as you will not be permitted to enter the building.
The Company will ensure that all legal requirements of the
meeting, in accordance with its Articles of Association, are
satisfied through the presence (in person or by proxy) of the
minimum number of three Shareholders (meaning the physical
attendance in person of two shareholders, likely being two Board
members and one other shareholder by proxy). The format of the
meeting will be purely functional and the Company's advisors will
not be present. The AGM will comprise only the formal votes for
each resolution (other than Resolution 2, which has been withdrawn)
set out in the Notice of Meeting. There will be no business update
or Q&A.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to exercise their proxy
vote online on the matters of business by either registering their
vote through our registrars portal - www.signalshares.com
(instructions as advised in the General Notes to the Notice of
Meeting) or for CREST members through the CREST electronic proxy
appointment service. A hard copy proxy form is available upon
request from Link Asset Services at enquiries@linkgroup.co.uk or by
telephone on 0371 664 0300. (Lines are open between 08:30 - 17:30,
Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and
Wales.)
Full details of how to complete the proxy form and return it are
contained in the Notice of Meeting. You are strongly advised to
appoint the chairman of the meeting as your proxy to ensure your
vote is counted.
The latest time for proxies to be lodged is 11am on 27 April
2020.
All resolutions will be put to a vote on a poll, rather than on
a show of hands. This will result in a more accurate reflection of
the views of Shareholders and ensure that your proxy votes are
recognised.
Any questions Shareholders have concerning the business to be
conducted at the meeting may be directed via email to:
AGM2020@nicholsplc.co.uk stating your name and Investor Code (as
printed on your Share Certificate or obtained by contacting the
Registrar). We will collate the questions we receive and will
select a representative sample which will be answered on the
Company's website after the AGM.
The results of the poll votes on the proposed resolutions will
be published on the Company's website as soon as possible after the
conclusion of the AGM.
The Board will continue to monitor COVID-19 developments as well
as any further UK Government advice and will issue a further
statement if this requires any amendment to the arrangements
advised above.
