About this update from Rotork Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n RNS Number : 2983I\n Rotork PLC\n 01 April 2020\n \n \n \n \n Rotork Plc\n \n \n 2019 Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting\n \n \n 1 April 2020\n \n \n The Company today published its 2019 Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019, and the Notice of the 2020 Annual General Meeting (\"AGM\"), which is to be held at 12 p.m. on Friday, 24 April 2020 at Rotork House, Brassmill Lane, Bath, BA1 3HZ. Shareholders should note the change in venue for the AGM from that previously published.\n \n \n In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, these documents will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism, which is located at \n \n http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM\n \n . Hard copy versions have been posted to shareholders who have elected to receive them in paper form.\n \n \n The Notice of AGM and Annual Report and Accounts are also available to view or download in pdf format from the Company's website at \n \n https://www.rotork.com/en/investors\n \n .\n \n \n COVID-19 Update\n \n \n The Board considers the AGM as an important opportunity to present to shareholders the Company's performance and strategic priorities, and to listen to and respond to shareholder questions. However, the Board notes the guidance issued by the UK government on 23 March 2020 restricting social gatherings for a period of three weeks in the view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that, if such guidance remains in place on the date of the AGM, shareholders will be prohibited from attending the AGM. As there is no certainty as to when these restrictions will be removed, the Board \n requests that shareholders do not plan to attend the AGM but instead appoint a proxy and provide voting instructions in advance to that proxy, either electronically or by using the appropriate Form of Proxy.\n \n \n Alternative arrangements and change of AGM venue\n \n \n Given the restrictions described above and the fact that shareholders are unlikely to be able to attend the AGM in person, the Board has put in place a dial in facility for shareholders to listen to the AGM proceedings: (i) by phone by dialling 0800-051-3810 and entering the following pin 842 009 580; or (ii) by accessing the following web address: \n \n https://rotork.webex.com/rotork/onstage/g.php?MTID=e1c3c2b7bf6405fec55f315418eb08...
