Notice of EGM
Notice is hereby given that an extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) of shareholders of Gemfields will be held at
1 Cathedral Piazza, London, SW1E 5BP, United Kingdom on Wednesday, 4 December 2019 at 10.00 a.m. (British
Time). The Notice of EGM and associated proxy forms have been posted to shareholders today, Tuesday, 5 November
2019. Those shareholders registered on the Company’s shareholders’ register on Friday, 25 October 2019 will receive
notice of the EGM. For JSE purposes, those shareholders registered on the Company’s shareholders’ register on
Friday, 29 November 2019 will be eligible to participate and vote. Accordingly, the last date to trade will be Tuesday,
26 November 2019.
The meeting is held to seek shareholder approval to increase the number of shares that may be repurchased during
the 2019 calendar year and thereafter up to the date of the 2020 annual general meeting of the Company, with any
such repurchases being initially funded using the Company’s remaining Distribution Pool. The Company is of the view
that repurchasing ordinary shares and de-listing these from trading is in the best interest of the shareholders of the
Company as a whole. The Company’s announcement on 21 October 2019 details the current status of the Company’s
Distribution Pool.
The Notice and explanatory notes thereto are available on the Company’s website as of today:
