Notes to the Notice of General Meeting
- Appointment of proxies
- If you are a shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting, you are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting and you should have received a proxy form [with this notice of meeting]. A proxy does not need to be a shareholder of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the proxy form.
- You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. To appoint more than one proxy, please contact the Company Secretary at the address given above. You will need to state clearly on each proxy form the number of shares in relation to which the proxy is appointed. Failure to specify the number of shares to which each proxy appointment relates or specifying a number in excess of those held by the shareholder will result in the proxy appointment being invalid. If you wish your proxy to speak on your behalf at the meeting you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the chairman) and give your instructions directly to them.
- If you do not give your proxy an indication of how to vote on any resolution, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the Meeting.
Appointment of proxy by post
- The notes to the proxy form explain how to direct your proxy how to vote on each resolution.
To appoint a proxy using the proxy form, the form must be:
- completed and signed;
- sent or delivered to the Company at 29/31 Querns Lane, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 1RL; and
- received by the Company no later than midday on 14th April 2021
Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form.
Appointment of proxies electronically
- As an alternative to completing the hard-copy proxy form, you can appoint a proxy electronically by email. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, your appointment must be received by the Company no later than midday on 15th April 2021.
Changing proxy instructions
- Shareholders may change proxy instructions by submitting a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments also apply in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.
Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard-copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy proxy form, please contact the Company Secretary at 29/31 Querns Lane, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 1RL.
If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
Termination of proxy appointment
- A shareholder may change a proxy instruction but to do so you will need to inform the Company in writing by either:
- Sending a signed hard-copy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to the Company. In the case of a shareholder which is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice.
- Sending an email to chyp@btinternet.com.
