Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, this will be a closed meeting. Regrettably, it will not be possible for shareholders to attend; any shareholder seeking to attend the meeting (other than those forming the quorum, which will be facilitated by the Company) will not be admitted. Shareholders are instead, strongly encouraged to vote by proxy on the resolutions.
