Notice of AGM
The Company's Annual General Meeting is to be held at 11:00am on
26th August 2020.
We would like to thank all shareholders for their co-operation
and understanding.
As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are making changes
to the way in which we conduct this year's AGM. French Connection
understands and respects the importance of the AGM to shareholders
and the Board greatly values the opportunity to meet shareholders
in person. However, the health and safety of our shareholders,
employees and the broader community is of paramount importance.
In light of the UK Government's current guidance on public
gatherings, and the new regulations set out in Schedule 14 of the
Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act, the Board has concluded
that shareholders cannot be permitted to attend the AGM in person
this year.
The AGM will be held by electronic means and will be kept as
concise and efficient as possible with the minimum necessary quorum
of two shareholders in order to conduct the business of the
meeting. The format of the meeting will be purely functional to
comply with relevant legal requirements.
Instead of attending this year's AGM, shareholders are asked to
exercise their votes by submitting their proxy electronically or by
post as soon as possible, and these must be received by no later
than 11.00 am on Monday 24(th) August 2020. Shareholders who wish
to appoint a proxy are recommended to appoint the Chair of the
meeting as their proxy. As a result of the current Government
restrictions, if a shareholder appoints someone else as their
proxy, that proxy will not be able to attend the meeting in order
to cast the shareholder's vote.
Your votes do matter. Proxy instructions (which include the
ability to lodge proxies electronically) are set out in the AGM
Notice. Shareholders are also invited to submit questions in
advance of the meeting via email at
investorrelations@frenchconnection.com by no later than 11.00 am on
Monday 24(th) August 2020. We will endeavour to answer questions
received in advance, by publishing responses on thematic topics on
our website either prior to, or shortly after, the AGM.
We will continue to monitor the evolving impact of the pandemic
and, if it becomes appropriate or necessary to make changes to the
proposed format of the 2020 AGM, we will inform shareholders as
soon as we can.
