Annual General Meeting

We typically hold our AGM in London every May. Directors who attend are formally available for questions, during the meeting.

 

Overview

Voting on all resolutions put to the AGM is done by poll instead of a show of hands.

2024 AGM

Our AGM will be held at 2.30pm on Wednesday 8 May 2024 at Royal Lancaster London, Lancaster Terrace, London W2 2TY. The AGM will also be broadcast online, live for shareholders.

The Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024 (PDF - 368KB) (2024 AGM Notice) gives details on the resolutions to be put to the AGM, along with explanatory notes.

Shareholders can join the AGM either online or in person. You are encouraged to participate in the meeting online as this will provide you with the full AGM experience without the need to travel.

Full details on how to participate in the AGM, ask questions and vote before and during the meeting can be found on pages 23 to 27 of the 2024 AGM Notice (PDF - 368KB), and in our AGM Guide (PDF - 1MB). They are also summarised below.

Any shareholders with questions on how to access the AGM should contact our registrar, Equiniti, who will be pleased to talk through the joining options. Their contact details can be found on page 30 of the 2024 AGM Notice (PDF - 368KB) and our investor contacts page.
