Notice of Third Annual General Meeting
The Board of Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited, the first UK listed
investment company offering investors a pure-play exposure to songs
and associated intellectual property rights, and its Investment
Adviser, The Family (Music) Limited, are pleased to announce that
its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") is to be held at United House, 9
Pembridge Road, Notting Hill, London W11 3JY at 10:00 a.m. on 15
September 2021
Covid-19
The Board has elected to hold the AGM in the United Kingdom due
to it being where the majority of the Shareholders are based and
due to the relaxed restrictions on gatherings and travel (the
"Covid-19 Restrictions") that are currently in place in the United
Kingdom. Notwithstanding the relaxation of the Covid-19
Restrictions in the United Kingdom, there still remain some
restrictions and limitations on international travel, and there
remain the possibility for additional Covid-19 Restrictions to be
imposed at short notice. Furthermore, with cases of Covid-19 still
relatively prevalent throughout the United Kingdom, the safety of
the Company's officers, stakeholders, Shareholders and other agents
remains of crucial importance to the Board.
Your Board will continue to review arrangements for the AGM in
light of any further measures imposed or eased by the United
Kingdom and will update Shareholders of any changes.
Given the current uncertainty and the prevalence of Covid-19
cases throughout the United Kingdom, the Board strongly encourages
Shareholders to submit their votes at the AGM through completing,
signing and returning the Form of Proxy in accordance with the
instructions printed thereon. Shareholders are also encouraged to
participate in the AGM by submitting any questions in advance. Any
specific questions on the business of the AGM can be submitted by
no later than 48 hours prior to the AGM (or any adjournment
thereof) by email to ir@hipgnosissongs.com.
Should circumstances change and further Covid-19 Restrictions be
imposed prior to the date of the AGM, the Company will announce,
via a RNS release, any change in the arrangements which it feels
would be reasonable and practical to implement.
The Notice of Annual General Meeting together with the Form of
Proxy, have today been posted to shareholders and have also been
submitted to the National Storage Mechanism where they will shortly
be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM , and
will also be available to download from the Company's website at
www.hipgnosissongs.com . The Annual Report and Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2021 are also available to download
from the Company's website.
