Update on Arrangements for 2020 AGM
Barclays is today updating shareholders on the arrangements for
its 2020 AGM, which will be held at 1 Churchill Place, London E14
5HP at 11:00 am on 7 May 2020.
As we announced in our Notice of Meeting, in light of the
coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, and in accordance with the UK
Government's current guidance on social distancing and prohibition
on non-essential travel and public gatherings, shareholders will
unfortunately be unable to attend our AGM this year. We have
strongly encouraged shareholders to submit questions to the Board
in advance of the AGM and to vote by appointing the chairman of the
meeting as their proxy. We are pleased with the level of engagement
this has elicited and responses to the most frequently asked
questions across key themes received as at 30 April 2020 have been
posted on our website at home.barclays/agm. In addition, all
shareholder questions are being answered individually.
Shareholders are reminded that the deadline for receipt of
electronic proxy appointments and signed proxy forms is 11:00 am on
Tuesday 5 May 2020. Further details on how to submit questions and
how to vote are set out in our Notice of Meeting, available at
home.barclays/agm.
The AGM will be convened at our registered office with the
minimum required quorum present, including the Chairman and a
limited number of directors and employees, in order to conduct the
business of the meeting. Pre-recorded presentations by the Group
Chairman and the Group Chief Executive will be available from
9:00am on the day of the AGM at home.barclays/agm. The usual format
of the AGM will be condensed and will include only the formal
business of the meeting. Equiniti will act as scrutineers and the
results of the poll votes on the proposed resolutions will be
announced, in the usual way, as soon as practicable after the
conclusion of the AGM. Given the meeting format changes, and the
need to keep the presence of Barclays employees and third-party
contractors to a minimum, no audio webcast will be provided this
year.
We very much regret that shareholders will not be able to attend
the AGM and are grateful to shareholders for their understanding in
these challenging times. We will continue to engage extensively
with our shareholders in the coming months, including in advance of
our progress update on our climate change strategy and targets
which we plan to provide later this year.
