Annual Report 2020 AND Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

 

Compass Group PLC (the Company) released its preliminary announcement of annual results for the year ended 30 September 2020 (Annual Results Announcement) on 24 November 2020. Further to the Annual Results Announcement, the Company confirms that the Annual Report 2020, Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021 (the Notice) and Form of Proxy have today been published. 

 

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company will be held on Thursday 4 February 2021 at 10.00am. Due to the current UK Government restrictions on public gatherings and associated social distancing measures in response to COVID-19, and to ensure that we protect the health and safety of our shareholders, directors and people, the Company's AGM will be a closed meeting, held at the Company's registered office.Neither shareholders nor their proxies (other than the Chairman of the Meeting) will be able to attend in personand anyone attempting to do so will be refused entry.

 

The Company will ensure that the legal requirements to hold the AGM are met by the attendance of a minimum number of director shareholders and/or employee shareholders. All valid proxy votes (whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form) will be included in the poll to be taken at the AGM.

 

As shareholders cannot attend in person, we strongly encourage them to vote in advance by appointing the Chairman as their proxy. This is likely to be the only practical way that shareholders will be able to exercise their vote at the AGM.  Our registrar, Link Asset Services, must receive online or postal proxy appointments and voting instructions by 10.00am on Tuesday 2 February 2021 at the latest to ensure that the vote is counted.

 

Although shareholders and proxies will not be able to attend in person, we consider the AGM to be an important part of our shareholder engagement and to ensure that we retain shareholder transparency we have arranged an electronic facility which enables shareholders to participate in the Meeting online. More details of how to join the Meeting can be found on the Company's website and on page 16 of the Notice.
