Annual General Meeting 2021 - Arrangements
This announcement provides an update to the Company's Annual
General Meeting ('AGM') arrangements, as detailed in the Notice of
AGM published on 7 May 2021 (a copy of which can be obtained on the
Company's website at
https://www.whitbread.co.uk/investors/shareholder-centre/annual-general-meeting-2021/
).
Since the publication of the Notice, and from the 17(th) May,
the UK Government has permitted gatherings organised on businesses
premises, subject to complying with on-going COVID-secure
requirements, including social distancing. As a consequence, it is
legally permissible for shareholders to attend the AGM in person,
and the Company's AGM will no longer be held on a closed basis.
The safety and security of our shareholders, directors,
colleagues and guests is of paramount importance. COVID-19
restrictions remain in place and the Government has urged people to
maintain social distancing and reduce time spent in crowded areas.
The Company believes a cautious approach to situations,
particularly indoor events, that appear to carry a higher COVID-19
transmission risk is deemed appropriate.
Therefore, shareholders and corporate representatives are
strongly encouraged not to attend the AGM in person, and to
continue to vote by proxy or to participate in the business of the
AGM electronically through the online meeting platform, as
described further below.
Voting by Proxy
We remind shareholders of the arrangements for voting by
proxy:
-- If you will not be participating in the meeting
electronically or otherwise wish to vote in advance, you may
appoint a proxy by post, online or through CREST.
-- To be effective, the instrument appointing a proxy, must be
deposited at the offices of the Company's registrars, Link Group,
Whitbread Share Register, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington
Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL, not later than 2.00pm on Tuesday 15 June
2021.
Shareholders are kindly asked to appoint the Chairman of the
meeting as their proxy.
Accessing the meeting online
We strongly encourage shareholders to engage with the business
of the AGM through the online meeting platform. This platform
allows shareholders to participate in the meeting as if they were
attending in person, to cast votes and ask questions live during
the meeting.
