COVID-19 update

Due to the Government's COVID-19 Stay at Home Measures prohibiting public gatherings, shareholders will not be able to attend this year's AGM in person.

Shareholders are therefore encouraged to appoint the Chair of the AGM as their proxy with directions as to how to cast their vote on the resolutions proposed. The 2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting explains how shareholders can submit their proxy vote.

Shareholders are invited to send questions relevant to the business of the of the AGM in advance of the meeting to [email protected]. The Company's Board of Directors ("Board") will endeavour, where appropriate, to answer such questions as soon as practicable following the AGM.

The Board will keep the COVID-19 situation under review. In the event that the current restrictions materially change prior to the AGM, it may reconsider whether shareholders should be allowed to attend the AGM in person (taking into account first and foremost the health and safety of attendees). Any changes to restrictions on attendance will be reflected on our website at: https://www.charles-stanley.co.uk/investor-relations.
