2020 Annual General Meeting
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE
ATTENTION.
The Company had previously communicated in its 2020 Notice of
Annual General Meeting ('Notice') on 29 May 2020, that its 2020
Annual General Meeting ('AGM') will be held at 11:00am on Thursday,
2 July 2020 at the Company's registered office, 33 Holborn, London
EC1N 2HT.
In light of the COVID-19 situation and the UK Government
measures that restrict non-essential travel and public gatherings,
save for limited purposes, the Board has decided to close the
meeting to shareholders. Shareholders attempting to attend the
physical AGM will regrettably be refused entry. The Board believes
this approach is necessary and appropriate due to the current UK
Government measures to limit contact with other people, and to
protect the health and wellbeing of our shareholders and
colleagues. The health and safety of our shareholders and
colleagues is our priority in making the arrangements for the
meeting, and we would urge our shareholders to do their part.
Further details of the current government measures relating to
COVID-19 can be found at www.gov.uk/coronavirus .
The AGM will be held with the minimum number of persons present
to be quorate and in order to enable the business of the AGM to be
conducted. The meeting will include only the formal business of the
AGM to comply with the relevant legal requirements and, once this
is concluded, we will hold a question and answer session as
described below. There will be no presentations at this year's
AGM.
We appreciate that the AGM is an opportunity for shareholders to
express their views directly to the Board and, despite these
necessary changes to the format of the AGM, the Board is keen to
ensure that shareholders continue to have opportunities to engage
with them.
To support engagement with our shareholders in these exceptional
circumstances, shareholders are invited to listen to the AGM
proceedings. Following the conclusion of the formal business of the
AGM, members of the Board intend to respond to pre-submitted
questions. To submit a question ahead of the AGM, please email
AGM@sainsburys.co.uk by 6:30pm on Tuesday, 30 June 2020. We will
prioritise pre-submitted questions at the meeting, and if there is
sufficient time, shareholders will be able to use the telephone
facility to ask questions that have not been addressed. The Board's
responses to the key themes from shareholders' questions will be
published on our website as soon as is practicable after the AGM,
and for a period of 30 days after the AGM.
Any such shareholder participation via the telephone facility
will not constitute formal attendance at the AGM and shareholders
will not be able to vote on any resolutions. We, therefore,
encourage you to register your vote in advance of the meeting in
accordance with the Notice and your shareholder correspondence.
Given the restrictions on attendance in person, shareholders are
encouraged to appoint the chair of the meeting as their proxy,
rather than a named person who will not be permitted to attend the
physical meeting. Proxy instructions must be received by Equiniti
by 11.00am on Tuesday, 30 June 2020.
Your Directors are of the opinion that all resolutions which are
to be proposed at the AGM are in the best interests of the Company
and shareholders and therefore unanimously recommend that you vote
in favour of the resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of
any shares which they beneficially own. The voting results of all
resolutions proposed at the AGM will be announced as soon as
possible after the meeting.
The telephone details for shareholders to listen to the meeting
are below. Please note that to use the telephone facility you will
need your Shareholder Reference Number (Username), which can be
found on your Proxy Form or other correspondence regarding your
shareholding.

circumstances and wish you well during this time as we all navigate
the implications of COVID-19. Thank you for your understanding as
we all work together to keep everyone safe and support our
customers, colleagues and you, our shareholders.
