Please be aware that in accordance with current UK Government restrictions, any shareholder who attempts to attend the AGM or the GM in person will not be permitted entry.\n \n \n The minimum necessary quorum for each meeting will be met with the attendance of only the Chairman of the meeting and a very limited number of Director or employee shareholders, who are required to be at our registered office for necessary work purposes, in order to conduct the business of the meeting. No other Directors or members of executive management will attend and social distancing measures will be in place in order to comply with current requirements.\n...
