Adaptation of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 21 May
2020 due to COVID-19
The Board of Directors of the Company has adapted the way in
which the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "AGM") shall
be held on 21 May 2020. These changes are related to the measures
imposed by the Bermuda government to reduce the evolving outbreak
of COVID-19 (coronavirus) which include the current restrictions on
public gatherings and all but essential travel beyond the home (the
"Public Gathering Restrictions"), and in view of the health of all
directly involved in the AGM.
In order to ensure that any Shareholders wishing to attend the
AGM may safely do so in compliance with the Public Gathering
Restrictions, it has been decided that all persons attending the
Shareholder meetings may only do so telephonically, as is permitted
by the Company's Bye-Laws.
Shareholders and investors should note that the AGM will be
functional and will not include a presentation from the Investment
Manager.
Any Shareholder or proxy appointed by a Shareholder who wishes
to attend the AGM is requested to contact Judith Wynne, General
Counsel, Markel CATCo Investment Management Ltd. (the "Investment
Manager") (whose contact details appear below) in order to obtain
details of how to join the teleconference. Such Shareholders or
proxies are requested to provide details of their registered
shareholding or proxy appointment in order that their entitlement
to attend may be verified.
Any Depository Interest holder who wishes to join the AGM is
requested first to follow the instructions set out in Note 9 of the
notes accompanying the Notice of AGM dated 23 March 2020, which
appear on pages 46 to 48 of the Company's Annual Report 2019. This
may be found on the Company's website at
http://www.catcoreoppsfund.com/documents/reports/annual/2019-12-31_annual.pdf.
Any such Depository Interest holder is then requested to contact
Judith Wynne as set out in the immediately preceding paragraph.
As is normally the case, Shareholders who have already submitted
their proxy votes appointing the chairman of the AGM to vote on
their behalf in accordance with their instructions do not need to
attend the AGM in order to have their votes exercised, unless they
wish to ask questions. Additionally, Shareholders and Depository
Interest Holders can direct any questions they may have to
investorservices@markelcatco.com.
The Board would encourage all Shareholders and Depository
Interest Holders in the strongest possible terms to use their Form
of Proxy or Form of Direction, as relevant, and appoint the
chairman of the AGM as their proxy. This will allow their votes to
count. Shareholders and Depository Interest Holders should also be
aware that, in relation to the printed Form of Proxy and Form of
Direction, many mail services are likely to experience a reduction
in service levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, in
order to ensure that Shareholders' votes on the resolutions to be
proposed at the AGM are registered and counted, the Board
recommends that, if possible, voting by proxy should be undertaken,
for eligible Shareholders, through the CREST system.
The Investment Manager and the Company are monitoring the
developments with respect to COVID-19 measures closely and shall
take additional measures when necessary. All information regarding
the AGM can be found in the Annual Report 2019 issued by the
Company on 23 March 2020 (which appears on the Company's website at
http://www.catcoreoppsfund.com/documents/reports/annual/2019-12-31_annual.pdf.
The Notice of AGM dated 23 March 2020, and the accompanying notes
thereto, should be construed in light of this announcement and the
Public Gathering Restrictions.
