Notice of rescheduled AGM

Paris, France and Camberley, UK - 21 June 2022 - Novacyt ( EURONEXT GROWTH: ALNOV; AIM: NCYT ), an international specialist in clinical diagnostics, announces that the Company's Annual General Meeting (AGM), due to take place earlier today, will be rescheduled and held on Wednesday 20 July at 10am BST/11am CEST.

To function as a procedural meeting, the AGM requires a sufficient number of shareholders to constitute a quorum to ensure the AGM is validly held in accordance with French corporate law. This threshold has not been met and, in accordance with Article 19 of Novacyt articles of association, the AGM has been rescheduled.

The rescheduled AGM will be an open meeting exclusively held via video conference and as usual, and in accordance with French corporate law, the AGM comprises both ordinary and extraordinary general meetings.

Shareholders can register for the AGM and access the online meeting platform by visiting

Voting will re-open from Friday 24 June 2022. Forms of Proxy already completed and submitted and votes cast by electronic means for the first AGM remain valid for all meetings subsequently convened with the same agenda (art. R. 225-77 of the French commercial code).

As this AGM is an open meeting there will be a facility to vote on-line during the meeting for those shareholders who have not already voted. However, we would encourage all shareholders to submit their votes well in advance of the meeting date, by choosing one of the following options:

1.  Shareholders can download a copy of the Proxy voting form from www.novacyt.com/investors for completion and return to [e-mail] until 10.59pm BST/11.59pm CEST on Sunday 17 July 2022. All submissions must include an electronic signature and be accompanied by evidence of shareholding, for example a share certificate or statement of holding.

2.  Shareholders can vote on-line until 2pm BST/3pm CEST on Tuesday 19 July 2022 using the Votaccess portal http://www.actionnaire.cic-marketsolutions.eu if securities held on Euronext Growth are registered with any of the following banks: CIC, Natixis, Société Générale, Caceis, Crédit Agricole, BP2S, BNP Retail, Bourse Direct, ODDO, Rothschild Martin Maurel, Procapital, Citibank, Deutsche Bank or JP Morgan.
