Annual Report & Financial Statements
Notice of AGM
Watkin Jones plc (AIM:WJG), the UK's leading developer and
manager of residential for rent, with a focus on the build to rent
and student accommodation sectors, announces that electronic copies
of its Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30
September 2020, together with the Notice of Annual General Meeting
and Form of Proxy, will be available from the Company's investor
relations website at www.watkinjonesplc.com on Wednesday, 27
January 2021 . Hard copies of the 2020 Annual Report and Financial
Statements, Notice of Annual General Meeting and Form of Proxy will
be posted to shareholders today.
The Annual General Meeting will be held at 10.30am on Friday, 19
February 2021. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the
current legislation and guidance issued by the UK Government, the
Board has decided that the AGM will be held as a 'closed' meeting
with the minimum number of Directors and officers who hold shares
present to form the necessary quorum. Unfortunately, other
shareholders will not be permitted to attend the meeting in
person.
The Company intends to broadcast the AGM live via a webcast with
shareholders having the opportunity to submit questions prior to
the meeting.
If shareholders wish to attend the AGM or submit questions to
the Board, please contact Buchanan via watkinjones@buchanan.uk.com
no later than 10.30am on Wednesday, 17 February 2021. There will be
no facility to ask questions live at the AGM, however the Board
will endeavour to answer any questions that have been submitted in
advance. When registering or submitting questions you will be
required to provide details including your investor code to verify
your identity.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit a Form of Proxy
appointing the Chair of the meeting as their proxy and giving
instructions as to how they wish their votes to be cast. Whilst
shareholders are entitled to appoint a proxy other than the
Chairman, the Company's decision to hold a closed meeting means
that the appointment of any proxy other than the Chairman would
result in the votes not being able to be cast. Details of how to
submit votes can be found in the Notice of AGM. The deadline for
Forms of Proxy to be received is 10.30am on Wednesday, 17 February
2021.
