Updated arrangements for the 2020 Annual General Meeting (the
Meeting)
In the light of recent changes to UK Government guidance and
relevant legislation, the Company announces that the Meeting
convened to be held on 16 October 2020 will now be held as a closed
meeting. The Company will arrange the quorum. In the interests of
safety, regrettably other shareholders will not be permitted to
attend the Meeting. Shareholders are encouraged to vote by
appointing the chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their
behalf.
Any shareholder who had been intending to come to the Meeting
and ask a question, may instead email that question to
corporate@ashmoregroup.com at any time between now and the date of
the Meeting.
Ashmore remains fully committed to holding future Annual General
Meetings as live meetings and will welcome shareholders to attend
in person as soon as it is appropriate.
Background
On 16 September the Company announced that the Meeting would be
held at 61 Aldwych, London WC2B 4AE at 12.00 noon on Friday 16
October 2020, but that it would continue to monitor developments
regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and that shareholders should check
the Company's website and announcements for any updates concerning
the arrangements for the Meeting.
The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (the Act) was
passed into law in June 2020, and provides flexibility for
companies to hold shareholder meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic
as 'closed meetings'. However, the Act applied only to meetings
held on or before 30 September 2020. This period has now been
extended and applies to meetings held prior to 31 December
2020.
