The Company has today published a Circular containing the full
Notice of General Meeting on its website,
www.providentfinancial.com and posted the Circular to shareholders
today. In accordance with LR 9.6.1R and LR 9.6.3R a copy of the
Notice of General Meeting has been submitted to the National
Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
At the General Meeting, the Company will seek shareholder
approval of changes to its Directors' Remuneration Policy and for
adoption of the Provident Financial 2020 Restricted Share Plan
.
The Board recommends shareholders vote in favour of all
resolutions.
General Meeting arrangements
The Board understands and respects the importance of
shareholders being able to attend, speak and vote at General
Meetings. However, the health and safety of our colleagues,
customers, communities and shareholders is of paramount importance
and we are committed to supporting the UK Government's efforts in
relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, in light of the
COVID-19 pandemic and the UK Government's current guidance on
public gatherings, and the regulations set out in Schedule 14 of
the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020, we regret that it
will not be possible for shareholders to attend the General Meeting
in person. We anticipate that only the Chairman and a limited
number of directors and employees will be in attendance at the
General Meeting to ensure a quorum and to conduct the business of
the General Meeting.
However, the Board recognises the importance of shareholder
engagement and sees it as important for shareholders to exercise
their right to vote and, accordingly, strongly recommends that
shareholders vote on all resolutions by completing and submitting
an online proxy appointment form in favour of the Chairman of the
meeting in accordance with point 6 of the Explanatory Notes to the
Notice of Meeting (set out on pages 13 to 15 of the Circular).
Shareholders are encouraged to submit questions to the Board in
advance of the General Meeting by emailing
shareholder.questions@providentfinancial.com by no later than
9.30am on 30 October 2020. We will consider all questions received
and, if appropriate and relating to the business of the General
Meeting, provide a written response or publish answers on a
thematic basis on our website www.providentfinancial.com/investors
.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. We strongly encourage shareholders to
vote on all resolutions in advance of the General Meeting by
completing an online proxy appointment form appointing the Chairman
of the meeting as your proxy by 9.30am on 30 October 2020. Further
details are set out in the Circular.
The Board will keep the situation under review and may need to
make further changes to the arrangements relating to the General
Meeting, including how it is conducted, and shareholders should
therefore continue to monitor the Company's website
(www.providentfinancial.com/investors) and announcements for any
updates.
