Annual General Meeting: revised date

 

Oxford Instruments plc, a leading provider of high technology products and services to industry and scientific research communities, today announces that its annual general meeting (AGM) will now take place on 19 September 2023, a change to the previously announced date of 28 July 2023.

A delay to the completion of the annual audit was noted at the time of the announcement of the Company's preliminary results for the year ended 31 March 2023 on 13 June 2023.

This delay results from the Company's auditor, BDO LLP, requesting additional time to finalise its audit quality control procedures.

The Board is confident that the completion of the audit will not result in any material changes to the preliminary results which were published on 13 June 2023.

The Company will make a further announcement regarding the publication of its Annual Report and Financial Statements.

Subject to shareholder approval, the final dividend will now be paid on 12 October 2023 to shareholders on the register as at 4 August 2023. The ex-dividend date will be 3 August 2023 and the last date of election for the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) will be 21 September 2023.
