Notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting
The Law Debenture Corporation p.l.c. (the "Corporation")
confirms that an Extraordinary General Meeting (the "EGM" or
"Meeting") of the Corporation will be held electronically on
Thursday, 11 February 2021 at 11:00am.
The business of the EGM will be to consider and, if thought fit,
approve proposed amendments to the Corporation's Articles of
Association (the "New Articles") that will allow shareholders to
attend, speak and vote electronically at the 2021 Annual General
Meeting, which is scheduled to take place on 7 April 2021, and
subsequent meetings.
At present, the Corporation's Articles of Association do not
provide for electronic participation or voting. The Board is
therefore proposing to make such amendments in light of the ongoing
coronavirus pandemic and the Government's announcement on Monday, 4
January 2021 of a third national lockdown. The Board acknowledges
that the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 ("CIGA 2020")
currently allows companies to hold virtual general meetings even
where their articles of association do not permit them to do so.
However, at present the CIGA 2020 only applies to general meetings
held on or before 30 March 2021. At the time of this announcement,
it is not certain whether the CIGA 2020 will be extended beyond
that date.
Therefore, in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the
Board considers that the resolution to be proposed at the Meeting
is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders as
a whole.
The circular, which includes the Notice of the EGM and a summary
of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association (the
"Circular"), and a Form of Proxy will be posted to shareholders in
due course. Copies of the Circular, the existing Articles of
Association and the New Articles will also be made available on the
Corporation's website on the date of posting.
The Board urges shareholders to review the contents of the
Circular in their entirety, including the documents referred to
therein, and to vote in favour of the resolution.
Participation and Voting
Details on how to access the Meeting will be distributed with
the Circular and may also be obtained from the Company
Secretary.
In order to ensure shareholders' views are represented at the
Meeting, voting on the resolution at the EGM will be conducted by
poll rather than a show of hands. Shareholders are therefore
strongly encouraged to submit proxy votes appointing the Chairman
of the Meeting, either electronically or by post, to the registrars
in accordance with the instructions on the Form of Proxy, in
advance of the Meeting. Proxies must be received by no later than
48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting.
Should shareholders have any queries with regard to this
announcement, the Circular or any questions that they would like
put to the Board in advance of the Meeting relating to the business
of the EGM, these may be submitted to the Company Secretary at
TSU.Cosec@lawdeb.com .
