2020 Results Date, Board Update & Notice of AGM
Lookers plc ("Lookers" or the "Group"), one of the leading UK
motor retail and aftersales service groups, today confirms the date
for the announcement of its 2020 Full Year Results, provides an
update on the Board and gives formal notice of its Annual General
Meeting ("AGM").
2020 Results Date
Further to the renewal of the Group's bank facility announced on
25 May 2021, the Group will release its audited preliminary results
for the year ended 31 December 2020 on 29 June 2021.
Board Update
Anna Bielby was appointed as a Director and Interim Chief
Financial Officer in January 2021 for an interim term of six
months. Since then she has made a valuable contribution to the
Group. She has agreed to extend her assignment and will leave the
Group at the end of July 2021 following finalisation of a number of
key projects. Accordingly, Anna will not be seeking election as a
Director at this year's AGM.
The search continues for a successor to Phil White as Chairman.
In the interim, the Board has asked Phil to remain as Chair to
ensure an orderly handover which the Board believes is in the best
interests of all stakeholders. Therefore, whilst previously
announced that he will not be standing for re-election, Phil has
now agreed to stand for re-election at this year's AGM. The Board
would like to thank Phil for his resilient and clear leadership,
particularly over the last 12 months as the Group has resolved a
number of legacy issues.
As the Group looks forward with renewed confidence, it will
continue to update on progress with both the Chairman and Chief
Financial Officer positions.
Notice of AGM
The Group has today posted to shareholders Notice of its Annual
General Meeting ("Notice of AGM") to be held at 10am on 30 June at
Manchester Airport Marriott Hotel, Hale Road, Hale Barns,
Altrincham, WA15 8XW.
We are keen to welcome shareholders in person to our AGM this
year, particularly given the constraints we faced in 2020 due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. Current guidelines issued by the UK
Government suggest that it will be possible to hold the AGM as an
open meeting, with shareholders present in person. However, given
the constantly evolving nature of the situation in relation to the
COVID-19 pandemic, we want to ensure that we are able to adapt
these arrangements efficiently to respond to any changes in
circumstances. The Notice of AGM gives details of how shareholders
will be informed if an open meeting is not possible and the
consequential arrangements.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.1, a copy of the Notice of Annual
General Meeting has been submitted to the National Storage
Mechanism and will be available for viewing shortly at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. The Notice
of Meeting will also shortly be available on the Company's website:

Split AGM and Accounts Meeting
As previously announced, as a result of the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, the Group has chosen to take advantage of the Financial
Conduct Authority's extended reporting deadline for its 2020 Full
Year Results. Consequently, to ensure that the AGM for 2021 is held
within the timescales mandated by the Companies Act 2006, we have
decided to split the AGM and the general meeting at which the 2020
Full Year Results will be laid before shareholders.
As in 2020, the standard shareholder resolutions relating to
receiving the audited financial statements and the auditors' and
directors' reports, approving the directors' remuneration report
and the re-appointment and remuneration of our auditors, will be
tabled at a separate general meeting of shareholders. We intend to
the issue the formal notice in respect of this additional general
meeting shortly after publication of our 2020 Full Year
Results.
