Gresham Technologies plc
Publication of Shareholder Circular and Notice of General
Meeting
Gresham Technologies plc (LSE: "GHT", "Gresham", "Company"), the
leading software and services company that specialises in providing
solutions for data integrity and control, banking integration,
payments and cash management, provides a further update to the
Company's announcement on 28 May 2021 of the Proposed Acquisition,
Placing and Retail Offer.
As announced on 28 May 2021, the Acquisition is a Class 1
transaction under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition,
Placing and Retail Offer are each conditional on the approval of
Shareholders at a General Meeting.
The Company announces today that the Financial Conduct Authority
has approved the Shareholder Circular dated 1 June 2021.
Gresham shareholders who have elected for printed shareholder
documents will shortly receive a hard copy of the Shareholder
Circular and Form of Proxy. Other Gresham shareholders will be sent
notification, either in hard copy or by email, that the Shareholder
Circular is available online.
As set out in the Shareholder Circular, a General Meeting will
be held at the Company's registered office at Aldermary House,
10-15 Queen Street, London EC4N 1TX at 10:00 a.m. on 21 June 2021
to allow Gresham shareholders to vote on the resolutions required
to approve and implement the Acquisition, Placing and Retail
Offer.
The Board's preference had been to welcome Shareholders in
person to the General Meeting, particularly given the constraints
faced in 2020 and again this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However at present, under the UK Government's four-step roadmap to
lifting lockdown restrictions, there can be no certainty as to the
number of people who will be able to attend and it is accordingly
proposed to hold the General Meeting as a combined physical and
electronic meeting. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint
the Chair of the General Meeting (rather than their own choice of
person) as their proxy with their voting instructions and are
requested not to attend the Company's offices for the General
Meeting in person but, instead, to participate using the online
Investor Meet Company ("IMC") platform. Shareholders who are not
already registered to the IMC platform will need to register with
IMC, for which there is no charge, and add "to meet" Gresham
Technologies plc to register attendance, using the link:
https://investormeetcompany.com/gresham-technologies-plc/register-investor
. Advance registration to attend the meeting is required.
Shareholders who have already registered to the IMC platform will
be able to add to meet the Company to register attendance at the
General Meeting.
The Company is taking these precautionary measures to safeguard
Shareholders' and its employees' health and to enable the General
Meeting to comply with current law and UK Government guidelines.
The Company will keep the practicalities of the location, date and
format of the General Meeting under close review and it is possible
these may change at short notice. Any such changes will be
announced via a RIS and on the Company's website. Shareholders are
accordingly strongly recommended to monitor all Company
announcements carefully.
A copy of the Shareholder Circular has been submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism . The
Shareholder Circular will also shortly be available on the
Company's website at https://www.greshamtech.com/invest-in-us .
Save as otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this
announcement have the meanings given to them in the Proposed
Acquisition, Placing and Retail Offer announcement released by the
Company on 28 May 2021.
The person responsible for making this announcement on behalf of
the Company is Jonathan Cathie, Company Secretary.
