AGM Alternative Arrangements
Spirax -Sar co Enginee ring plc, the w o rld leader in thermal
energy management, peristaltic pumping and associated fluid path
technologies, today announces the following arrangements for its
Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday, 13th May 2020 at
1400 hrs (AGM).
In our Circular to Shareholders and Notice of AGM issued on 26th
March 2020, we highlighted that we may hold our AGM via a
combination of both attendance and conference call/audio webcast to
comply with the UK Government measures and laws designed to reduce
the transmission of COVID-19. These laws and mandatory measures
prohibit, amongst other things, individuals engaging in
non-essential travel and public gatherings of more than two people,
save where the gathering is essential for work purposes. In order
to ensure shareholders can comply with the Stay at Home Measures,
the Board has concluded that shareholders will not be able to gain
access to the AGM in person on the day. In order to comply with the
legal requirements for holding the AGM, a quorum will be
constituted by those Directors/employee shareholders in attendance
who will observe social distancing measures.
Despite these necessary changes to the format of the AGM, as we
stated in the Circular and Notice, it is vital that we achieve the
right balance between acting responsibly and accountability.
To ensure that shareholders have an opportunity to engage with
the Board, we have put in place a dial-in facility for shareholders
wishing to participate using the following telephone number: +44
(0)20 3478 5289. A passcode is required, which can be obtained by
contacting us at the email address below. Shareholders dialling
into the AGM will be able to speak or ask questions at the start of
the meeting relating directly and only to the resolutions and the
business of the meeting .
The results of the votes on the proposed resolutions will be
announced in the normal way as soon as practicable after the
conclusion of the AGM.
In order to ensure that shareholders' votes are counted, the
Board strongly encourages shareholders to exercise their right to
vote by appointing the Chair of the AGM as their proxy to exercise
their right to vote at the AGM in accordance with their
instructions. Shareholders can do this by submitting their Form of
Proxy and are
encouraged to do so online. Simply go to www.sharevote.co.uk and follow the instructions.
Proxy appointments should be provided as soon as possible and
must, as we stated in our Circular to Shareholders and Notice of
AGM, be received by Equiniti no later than 1400 hrs on Monday, 11th
May 2020 in order to be valid.
We would like to thank shareholders for their understanding and
cooperation in enabling the Company to go ahead with the AGM and
comply with the UK Government's compulsory measures in these
challenging times.
