AGM format
The board recognises the importance of the AGM to shareholders
and is keen to ensure that they are able to engage with the
business of the meeting. Having been unable to invite shareholders
to attend in person for the last two years, we are delighted to be
able to welcome them to our AGM this year which will be held at our
London head office at 8 Finsbury Circus, London EC2M 7AZ, on
Thursday 5 May 2022 at 09:30am.
As we all adapt to living with Covid-19, the board recognises
the need to remain vigilant. We will, therefore, continue to take
steps to protect those wishing to attend the AGM, and to prevent
the spread of the virus. Shareholders should not attend the AGM if
they have Covid-19, or are experiencing any of its main symptoms.
The board will continue to monitor the course of the pandemic and
the latest government guidance over the coming weeks to ensure that
we are able to adapt our arrangements efficiently to respond to any
change in circumstances between now and early May. We would,
therefore, ask shareholders to monitor the company's website and
regulatory news for any AGM updates.
How to ask Questions
The board is keen to hear from our shareholders. Shareholders
who attend the AGM on the day whether in person or by proxy will be
able to ask questions on the business of the meeting in the usual
way. Shareholders are also encouraged to submit any questions in
advance of the AGM by sending them to
CompanySecretariat@rathbones.com . The company will respond before
the proxy appointment deadline to those questions received by the
close of business on Wednesday 27 April 2022. Shareholders are also
encouraged to check the company's website where answers to
questions submitted in advanced of the meeting will be posted.

Statement of directors' responsibilities in respect of the
report and accounts
The directors are responsible for preparing the report and
accounts 2021, and the group and parent company financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare group and parent
company financial statements for each financial year. Under that
law they are required to prepare the group financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
('IFRS') as adopted by the UK and applicable law and have elected
to prepare the parent company financial statements on the same
basis.
Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial
statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the group and parent company and of
their profit or loss for that period. In preparing each of the
group and parent company financial statements, the directors are
required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable, relevant and reliable
- state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the UK
- assess the group and parent company's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern
- use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either
intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the parent
company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any
time the financial position of the parent company and enable them
to ensure that its financial statements comply with the Companies
Act 2006.
They are responsible for such internal controls as they
determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such
steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the
group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also
responsible for preparing a strategic report, directors' report,
directors' remuneration report and corporate governance statement
that comply with that law and those regulations.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity
of the corporate and financial information included on the
company's website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation
and dissemination of financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.
Responsibility statement of the directors in respect of the
report and accounts
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
- the financial statements, prepared in accordance with the
applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view
of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss
of the company and the undertakings included in the consolidation
taken as a whole
- the strategic report and directors' report include a fair
review of the development and performance of the business and the
position of the issuer and the undertakings included in the
consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the
principal risks and uncertainties that they face.
We consider the report and accounts, taken as a whole, is fair,
balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary
for shareholders to assess the group's position and performance,
business model and strategy.
