Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary and Arrangements:
- Attendance Priority: Preference is given to shareholders who pre-register, in order of registration time. Remaining spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis for non-registered attendees.
- Registration Deadline: Pre-registration closes when capacity is reached or at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, May 19, 2021.
- Admission Policy: Shareholders are advised not to attend without pre-registration confirmation, as entry cannot be guaranteed once the 100-person limit is reached.
- Livestream: The AGM will be livestreamed on the company website for those unable to attend in person; however, viewing the stream does not constitute attendance.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Shareholders are responsible for complying with travel restrictions applicable to their specific journey, as rules may vary across the UK.
- Failure to pre-register may result in denied entry if the venue reaches capacity.
