REVISED AGM ARRANGEMENTS
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES IMMEDIATE
ATTENTION
On 2 March 2020, the Company posted Notice of its Annual General
meeting ("AGM") to be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, 30 April 2020
at the offices of Greencoat Capital LLP, 4(th) Floor, The Peak, 5
Wilton Road, London. SW1V 1AN (the "Notice").
In a subsequent announcement on 20 March 2020, the Company
stated that following the UK Government's advice on social
distancing, travel and measures to prohibit public gatherings in
order to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 the Company had
decided to change the location of its AGM.
On 23 March 2020, the UK Government announced further mandatory
measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. This included
requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes;
and stopping all gatherings of more than two people in public. The
Board fully supports these measures to protect public health and
safety.
Revised Arrangements
As it is no longer legally possible to hold the AGM in the way
that the Board had planned, the meeting will instead be convened at
The Office, Home Farm House, Iwerne Minster, Dorset, DT11 8LT, with
the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders present in order
to conduct the business of the meeting. All valid proxy votes on
the proposed Resolutions will be included in the poll to be taken
at the meeting. The results of the meeting will be announced, in
the normal way, as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the
AGM.
The AGM will be recorded and an audio cast of the meeting will
be available for shareholders to listen to subsequently on the
Company website at: www.greencoat-ukwind.com
Voting by proxy and not in person
As physical attendance at the AGM will not be lawful,
shareholders who wish to register their votes on the Resolutions to
be put to the AGM should do so by completing and signing the proxy
form that accompanied the 2020 AGM Notice (or appoint a proxy
electronically if their shares are held in CREST) in accordance
with the instructions printed on the proxy form. Please return your
forms as soon as possible and, in any event, prior to 2:00 p.m. on
28 April 2020 or not less than 48 hours before the time of the
meeting or any adjourned meeting.
If you do not have a proxy form and believe that you should have
one, or if you require additional forms or have any additional
queries on voting, please contact our Registrar using the details
set out below and in page 8 of the Notice:
Address: Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions,
Bridgewater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY
The Board considers that all the Resolutions to be put to the
meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommends that
shareholders vote in favour of all the Resolutions, as the
Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial
holdings.
As the situation in relation to COVID-19 continues, the Company
will continue to monitor developments, including any regulatory
changes. If it becomes necessary or appropriate to further revise
the arrangements for the AGM, further announcements will be made
and information will be made available on our website at:
www.greencoat-ukwind.com
Shareholder Engagement
The Board considers that beyond voting on the formal business of
the meeting, the AGM also serves as a forum for shareholders to
raise questions and comments on any of the Resolutions to the
Board. Registered shareholders may submit such questions by email
to the Company Secretary at: cheryl.surgeoner@ocorian.com by 2.00pm
on 28 April 2020, who will ensure that all questions receive a
response prior to the meeting.
To ensure that shareholders have the ability to raise other
matters with the Board, a shareholder presentation will be arranged
later in the year, giving shareholders the opportunity to ask the
Board and the Investment Manager any further questions they may
have. Details of this event will be issued in due course.
