COVID-19 and The Weir Group PLC Annual General Meeting
As announced on 31 March 2020 and in the Notice of Meeting, The
Weir Group PLC 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM), is to take place
on Tuesday 28 April 2020 at 2.30pm, at 1 West Regent Street,
Glasgow.
With respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK and Scottish
Governments have recently confirmed that the compulsory 'Stay at
Home Measures' remain in place therefore the Board would like to
confirm the meeting arrangements.
These measures mean that the AGM this year will be convened with
the minimum necessary quorum of two Shareholders. This will be
facilitated by the Company, and social distancing measures will be
in place , in order to comply with Government measures on
gatherings that are 'essential for work purposes'. Other
Shareholders should not attend the AGM in person and any
Shareholders that seek to attend will unfortunately not be
admitted.
In view of the restrictions on attendance, and as stated in the
Notice of Meeting, Shareholders wishing to raise any questions
relating to the business of the AGM are encouraged to do so by
submitting them to WeirAGM2020@mail.weir The Company will publish
responses to questions raised on the Company's website as soon as
possible after the meeting.
As stated in the Notice of Meeting, the Board encourages all
Shareholders to exercise their vote by appointing the Chairman of
the meeting as their proxy and providing voting instructions in
advance of the AGM, in accordance with the instructions explained
in the Notice of AGM.
You can appoint a proxy with voting instructions using the
shareholder portal at
www.global.weir/investors/shareholder-information/agm/
Please note that the deadline for submitting proxy voting
instructions is 2.30pm on 26 April 2020.
Whilst the Board continues to engage with Shareholders in other
ways, the Board looks forward to returning to full Shareholder
engagement as soon as it can and will seek opportunities to meet
with Shareholders in person when it is safe to do so.
The voting results for each of the resolutions put forward at
the AGM will be published via the London Stock Exchange as soon as
possible after the conclusion of the AGM and on our website.
In addition, the Company announces that the previously approved
inflationary salary and fee increases for the Group Executive and
Board members respectively have been withdrawn, as have the 2020
annual Group Executive and Management bonus plans.
The situation in relation to COVID-19 continues to develop,
therefore the Board encourages Shareholders to monitor the
Company's website and regulatory news services for any updates in
relation to the AGM.
