Angling Direct plc
("Angling Direct" or the "Company")
Changes to 2021 AGM Arrangements
Further to its announcement on 28 May 2021, Angling Direct plc
(AIM: ANG), the leading omni-channel specialist fishing tackle and
equipment retailer, announces that as a result of the UK
Government's decision on 14 June 2021 to extend the current
COVID-19 restrictions to at least 19 July 2021, and in order to
protect the health and safety of the Company's Shareholders and
Directors, the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held on 23
June 2021 (the "AGM") will now be held as a closed meeting.
Accordingly, the AGM will be convened with the minimum necessary
quorum of two Shareholders (which the Company will facilitate).
Regrettably, no additional shareholders will be able to attend the
AGM in person and any person seeking to attend the meeting will be
refused entry. The business at the AGM will be shortened so as to
consist of the formal business section only, with no wider
presentations on the Company's performance or Q&As.
The Board recognises that the AGM ordinarily provides an
important opportunity to engage with shareholders. Given the
circumstances, it therefore encourages shareholders to email any
questions to anglingdirect@fticonsulting.com in advance of the AGM
and the Company will aim to publish an AGM questions and answers
section on the Company's website, www.anglingdirect.co.uk .
Your vote is important to the Company and the Board wishes to
ensure that your vote is counted at the AGM. Shareholders are
strongly encouraged to submit their votes in advance of the AGM
electronically via CREST or by using the Form of Proxy enclosed
with the Notice of AGM and to appoint "the Chair of the AGM" as
their proxy. Further instructions to shareholders on how to submit
their votes by proxy are contained in the 'notes section' of the
letter accompanying the notice of AGM. All valid proxy notices
(whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form) will be
included in the poll to be taken at the AGM provided they have been
received by 10.00am on 21 June 2021.
