Tate & Lyle PLC
Result of Annual General Meeting 2020
Tate & Lyle PLC (the 'Company') announces that at its Annual
General Meeting ('AGM') held earlier today, all resolutions
contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting 2020 were duly
passed.
The Board recognises that the AGM is an opportunity for
shareholders to express their views directly to Board members and,
despite the necessary changes to the format of the AGM this year
due to Covid-19, the Board was keen to ensure that shareholders had
the opportunity for engagement in advance of the AGM. Therefore,
shareholders were invited to submit questions in advance of the
meeting and an audiocast was made available giving shareholders an
opportunity to hear a presentation from our Chairman, Gerry Murphy,
and our Chief Executive, Nick Hampton. You can listen to the
audiocast from this link or from our website
www.tateandlyle.com/investors/agm . The audiocast is available to
watch on the above link until Thursday 24 August 2020.
