Change to 2021 AGM Arrangements
This announcement provides an update to the arrangements for
Fresnillo plc's (the "Company") 2021 annual general meeting
("AGM"), as detailed in the Notice of AGM published on 21 May 2021
(the "Notice").
The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") takes its
responsibility to safeguard the health of shareholders very
seriously. In light of the UK Government's announcement on Monday
14 June 2021 not to ease the current restrictions on public
gatherings from 21 June 2021 as anticipated, the Board has decided
that, regrettably, the AGM shall be held as a closed meeting.
Consequently, the AGM will only be attended by two shareholders in
order to achieve a quorate meeting. Shareholders will be refused
entry and the AGM will end immediately following the formal
business of the AGM. To ensure their vote is counted, shareholders
are strongly encouraged to appoint the chair of the AGM as their
proxy with their voting instructions. Details of how to appoint a
proxy are set out in the Notes to the Notice.
Shareholders' views on the Company's activities are very
important to the Board and it remains committed to engagement with
shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders are encouraged to submit
questions ahead of the AGM via the following email address:
agm_2021@fresnilloplc.com. Questions must be submitted by 12:30pm
(UK) on Monday 21 June 2021 and emails should include the voting ID
and Shareholder Reference Number, which can be found on the
personalised proxy form sent to each shareholder. Fresnillo will
respond to all emails received as soon as practicable but in any
event by close of business on the day of the AGM.
Any further updates in relation to the AGM will be disclosed via
RNS and on the Company's website at www.fresnilloplc.com.
