("Versarien" or the "Company")
Notice of AGM
Versarien Plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering
group is pleased to confirm that the Annual General Meeting ("AGM")
of Versarien plc will be held on 24 September 2020 at 11.00am. The
Notice of AGM and a Form of Proxy will be posted to shareholders
today and are also be available on the Company's website.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit their proxy votes
either by post, email or vote electronically.
The Company has also noted the provisions of the recently
enacted Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 ("CIGA") and
related legislation which have altered the manner in which
companies can hold general meetings until 30 September 2020 as well
as the Government's advice that non-essential travel and gatherings
should be avoided.
Under the provisions of CIGA the requirements for a physical
quorum to be present at the AGM and for the AGM to be held in a
particular place have been suspended. The Company will ensure that
the legal requirements to hold the AGM can be satisfied through the
attendance of a minimum number of Directors or employee
shareholders, either in person or by electronic means.
The AGM will be conducted swiftly, with no presentation by the
Directors, no question and answer session, and will end immediately
following the conclusion of such usual and formal business. Any
Board members in attendance will not meet with any shareholders who
attempt to attend the AGM. Social distancing measures will be in
place and strict hygiene arrangements in force. Any shareholders
that do attempt to attend will not be allowed entry.
In the light of the above, and in order to ensure the safety of
its shareholders, officers and employees, the Board requests that
no shareholders attend the meeting. The Company does value
shareholder participation and values the votes of shareholders, so
it encourages all shareholders to exercise their voting rights by
completing and submitting a proxy form as soon as possible. Please
note that due to restricted attendance, the chairman of the meeting
will be appointed as each shareholder's proxy.
Although shareholders are not able to attend the AGM in person
this year, shareholder engagement and participation remains
important to the Board. Therefore, any shareholder who has a
question that they would otherwise have raised at the AGM is
invited to contact the Company Secretary by email to
versarien@yellowjerseypr.com by 11 September 2020 and the Company
will post any answers on its website at www.versarien.com after
5.00pm (BST) on 16 September 2020.
