The Company's AGM is scheduled to be held on Friday 15 May 2020

gatherings, as well as travel bans and any potential impact to
public transport in London.
Based on UK Government advice at the time of writing, the Board
has decided to make some changes to the format of the AGM this
year. Unlike in previous years, the AGM will comprise of the formal
business part of the meeting only - that is the formal resolutions
and not a wider discussion about business performance or
Q&A.
Whilst we welcome the opportunity to engage with our
shareholders in person at the AGM, we strongly encourage
shareholders to follow Public Health England advice before deciding
whether to attend the meeting or not. Shareholders are reminded of
and encouraged to use their right to appoint the Chairman of the

vote on their behalf. In the event that further disruption to the
AGM becomes unavoidable, we will announce any changes to the
meeting as soon as practicably possible through the Company's
website.
