As a result of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and the current prohibition on public gatherings, members will not be permitted to attend the AGM and ask questions in person. Shareholders who wish to ask questions may do so by contacting the Company Secretary at [email protected]. These questions will be answered on a conference call on 26 June 2020 at 2.00 p.m. Shareholders who wish to make use of this facility may do so by contacting [email protected].
As noted in the Notice of the AGM, although the Chairman, Mr Sillem, will be seeking re-election at the upcoming AGM, it is currently intended that he will retire as a Director of the Company in the course of the year and be replaced as Chairman by Mr Hyman, who is currently Senior Independent Director of the Company. The effective date of Mr Sillem's departure has not yet been determined and the Company will announce that date in due course.
