Barratt Developments PLC 2020 Annual General Meeting -
Update
In our Notice of Annual General Meeting 2020 (the "AGM"), we
explained that the Company was closely monitoring developments
relating to the current outbreak of COVID-19, including the related
public health guidance and legislation issued by the Government,
and that the Company would keep shareholders updated should its
plans for the AGM change in light of those developments. Following
the Government's announcement of updated national measures to
address the COVID-19 outbreak and the coming into force of the
Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (Coronavirus)
(Extension of the Relevant Period) Regulations 2020, the Company's
AGM scheduled for 12 noon on 14 October 2020 will now be held as a
closed meeting at the Company's office at Kent House, 1(st) Floor,
14-17 Market Place, London W1W 8AJ, and shareholders will not be
allowed to attend the meeting. The time and date of the AGM remains
the same.
The AGM will be held with the minimum required quorum present,
including the Chairman of the meeting and a limited number of
directors and/or employees, in order to conduct the business of the
meeting. The usual format of the AGM will be condensed and will
include only the formal business of the meeting.
We are of course disappointed that our AGM has been impacted,
but the safety and security of our shareholders and colleagues
remains our priority. We hope that all of our shareholders will
therefore understand the need for the changes we are announcing
today.
Shareholders are nevertheless strongly encouraged to vote at the
AGM. In order to do so, shareholders should appoint the Chairman of
the meeting as their proxy and otherwise complete their proxy
voting instructions in accordance with the guidance in the Notice
of AGM, which can be found on our website at:
https://www.barrattdevelopments.co.uk/investors/shareholder-centre/agm/agm-2020.
To be valid, proxy voting instructions must be received by no later
than 12 noon on Monday 12 October 2020.
We recognise that the AGM also provides an important opportunity
for engagement between the Company and shareholders. As set out in
the notice of AGM, shareholders may submit questions relating to
the business of the AGM in advance of the meeting. Questions may be
submitted via email to agmquestions@barrattplc.co.uk or by post to
The Company Secretary, at Barratt House, Cartwright Way, Forest
Business Park, Bardon Hill, Coalville Leicestershire LE67 1UF. We
will publish the answers to questions on our website as soon as
practicable after the AGM.
The results of voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the
AGM will be announced in the normal way through a regulatory
information service and will be available on the Company's website
as soon as practicable following the conclusion of the meeting.
