Publication of Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
AGM Notice
A copy of the notice of the annual general meeting of the
Company (the "2020 AGM Notice"), to be held on Thursday 21 May 2020
at 10.00 a.m. at White & Case LLP, 5 Old Broad Street, London,
EC2N 1DW (the "2020 AGM"), has been published today on the
Company's website at investors.avast.com .
Attendance at AGM
The evolving COVID-19 situation and the related Government
guidelines (available at: www.gov.uk/coronavirus) will clearly
impact the ability of shareholders to attend the Annual General
Meeting. The health and safety of all our employees, partners, and
shareholders, is a particular priority for the Company at this
time.
Attendance at the Annual General Meeting will be restricted to
two attendees, both of whom will be shareholders for the purpose of
satisfying the minimum quorum requirements in order to conduct the
business of the meeting. Other shareholders should not attempt to
attend the meeting in person. Any other shareholder seeking to
attend the meeting in person in addition to the minimum quorum will
be refused entry.
Voting
In light of the above, you will not be able to vote at the
Annual General Meeting in person. We encourage you to exercise your
vote on the business of the Annual General Meeting and therefore
ask you to complete a proxy form (under which you should appoint
the Chair of the meeting as your proxy) and return it to our
registrars, Equiniti by 10 a.m. on 19 May 2020 (as detailed further
in note 2 on page 9 of the 2020 AGM Notice). Alternatively, you can
register your proxy electronically (as also detailed in note 2 on
page 9 of the 2020 AGM Notice). This is our preferred option as it
will ensure that your vote is received and not affected by any
potential disruption to the postal service should circumstances
change.
Shareholder engagement
The Board of Avast is keen to maintain engagement with its
shareholders so we will be providing webcast facilities to enable
shareholders to follow proceedings of the meeting. It is currently
intended that the Chair of the Annual General Meeting will answer
questions which have been submitted 48 hours in advance of the
meeting. Answers not provided by the Chair at the meeting will be
provided as soon as possible thereafter. For details of how to join
the webcast and submit questions, please see our website at:
investors.avast.com.
We will continue to closely monitor the situation and we ask you
to be aware that the arrangements for the Annual General Meeting
may be subject to change. We will keep you updated with
developments and any necessary changes in due course. You are
advised to check the Company's website for updates or to contact
the Company's registrar, Equiniti. Equiniti's contact details can
be found on page 9 of the 2020 AGM Notice.
We thank you for your understanding and continued support at
this time.
