GLANBIA PLC
Update on time and location of the Company's Annual General
Meeting
14 April 2020 - Glanbia plc ("Glanbia", the "Company", the
"plc"), the global nutrition group, today announces that following
the Irish Government's extension of social distancing measures, the
arrangements and location of the Company's Annual General Meeting
("AGM"), scheduled to be held on Wednesday 22 April 2020 at
11.00am, have now changed. The AGM is adjourned to 11:15 am on the
same day, Wednesday 22 April 2020, to the Company's Head Office at
Glanbia House, Ring Road, Kilkenny, R95 E866.
The Board of Directors (the "Board") has been closely monitoring
the evolving Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. Following the Irish
Government's extension of the social distancing measures and
prohibition on non-essential travel and limitations on public
gatherings to 05 May 2020 it will not be possible for shareholders
to attend this year's AGM in person. The Board has decided that it
is no longer practical or desirable to hold the Company's AGM at
Lyrath Estate Hotel, Lyrath, Kilkenny, R95 F685, as previously
notified in the Notice of Meeting. In the circumstances the Board
has resolved that the time and the location of the AGM is adjourned
to 11:15 am on the same day, Wednesday 22 April 2020, at the
Company's Head Office at Glanbia House, Ring Road, Kilkenny, R95
E866.
During this evolving COVID-19 situation, the number one priority
of Glanbia is the health and wellbeing of its employees and other
stakeholders. The Company is applying the Government restrictions
as well as closely following the advice of the Irish Health
Services Executive ("HSE"). As the minimum required quorum for
Glanbia at an adjourned AGM is two persons, it will be possible to
proceed with the meeting in compliance with the Government
restrictions. As a result the Board is requesting all shareholders
to submit a proxy appointing the chair of the meeting as their
proxy so that they need not attend the meeting in person.
The AGM will be held as a closed meeting and shareholders will
not be able to attend in person on account of the Irish Government
restrictions . This will facilitate Glanbia in ensuring it adheres
to the Government's restrictions and HSE instructions around
physical distancing, non-essential travel and the limit on public
gatherings. The length of the meeting will also be greatly reduced
as it will be limited to the formal business required. There will
be no corporate presentation.
Voting proxies remotely
Glanbia highly values its shareholder contributions and
encourages shareholders to submit their proxies as early as
possible, the deadline for submitting proxies remains 11:00 am
Monday 20 April 2020. There are several ways for shareholders to
exercise their right to vote remotely at the AGM:
a. by submitting a validly completed proxy form to Computershare
appointing the chair of the meeting as a proxy to vote on their
behalf;
b. by visiting www.eproxyappointment.com and submitting their
proxy details; or
c. by appointing a proxy via the CREST System if they hold their
shares in CREST.
Where shareholders have already appointed someone other than the
chair of the meeting as their proxy, given the meeting restrictions
in place the Board encourages such shareholders to submit a new
proxy form appointing the chair of the meeting as their proxy.
To ensure shareholders can remain appraised of the business of
the meeting, raise questions and stay informed of Glanbia's
performance, the following sources of information will be made
available:
