2019 Annual Financial Report and Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM)

 

Copies of the Synthomer plc ("the Company") 2019 report and accounts, Notice of AGM (which will be held on 29 April 2020 at 11.00 a.m.) and associated proxy card have been sent to shareholders and submitted to the UK Listing Authority for publication through the National Storage Mechanism where they will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm

As announced on 26 March 2020 the Directors of the Company are no longer recommending a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2019 and therefore intend to withdraw Resolution number 4 set out in the Notice of AGM.

Final results for the year ended 31 December 2019 were announced on 5 March 2020. The 2019 report and accounts contain a responsibility  statement by Mr C G MacLean, Chief Executive Officer, and Mr S G Bennett, Chief Financial Officer, by order of the Board, in the following form:

"Responsibility statement

Each of the directors, whose names and functions are listed in the Report of the Directors, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:

· the Company financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework, and applicable law), give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Company

 

· the Group financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Group; and

 

· the Report of Directors includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group and Company, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces."

 

 

The 2019 report and accounts and Notice of AGM are also available on the Company's website, www.synthomer.com and upon request from the Company Secretary at 45 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5JG

 

Annual General Meeting

As the Notice of AGM went to print before the Covid-19 Stay at Home measures were published by the UK Government on 23 March 2020 the Directors had anticipated being able to convene the AGM in a way which would have allowed shareholders to attend in person. However we now regretfully advise that shareholders will not be permitted to attend  and attendance will be limited to a bare quorum of two officers or employees of the Company. The Directors therefore strongly encourage shareholders to vote by appointing the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy by submitting a proxy appointment in accordance with the instructions on the proxy card. The results of the AGM will be announced as soon as practical following the meeting.

The Directors may be required to further revise the AGM arrangements in the light of any new Government action and will closely monitor developments and advise shareholders accordingly.
