Update on arrangements for the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") in light of
COVID-19
The Company notes the current guidance issued by the UK Government following
the publication of the Company's Notice of AGM on 26 March 2021. The Company's
AGM will still be held at Park Plaza Victoria Hotel, 239 Vauxhall Bridge
Road, Pimlico, London, SW1V 1EQ at 2:00 pm on Tuesday 18 May 2021.
However, at present, uncertainty remains as to the freedom people will have
to meet in groups on 18 May 2021 and the Board advises shareholders not to
attend the meeting in person.
Shareholders are encouraged to submit their votes, and appoint the Chairman
as their proxy, electronically in accordance with the voting instructions
set out on pages 8 and 9 of the Notice of AGM and as soon as possible. The
voting instructions of UK registered shareholders must be received by the
Company's registrars in the UK by 2:00 pm (UK time) on Friday 14 May 2021
and South African registered shareholders must submit their voting
instructions to their Central Securities Depository Participant or broker by
3.00 pm (SAST) on Thursday 13 May 2021.
All valid proxy appointments will be included in the poll to be taken at the
AGM. The results of voting will be announced to the London Stock Exchange
and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and published on the Company's website
after the conclusion of the AGM.
We remain committed to engaging directly with our shareholders and offering
alternative means of communication during the pandemic. Shareholders wishing
to raise any questions relating to the business of the AGM may do so by
submitting them to the Company Secretary ahead of the meeting at
cosec@vivoenergy.com. We will endeavour to answer pre-submitted questions
(received by Wednesday, 12 May 2021) on the shareholder information area of
the Company’s website as soon as possible following receipt.
As the capacity at Park Plaza due to the current restrictions is limited,
shareholders wishing to attend in person are kindly requested to notify the
Company’s Registrar, Link Group, by post at 10th Floor, Central Square, 29
Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL or by telephone on 0371 6640300 at least 48
hours in advance, so that appropriate arrangements to ensure safety of all
participants can be made. Anyone attending in person will be required to
wear a facemask and use hand sanitiser before entering the meeting room. Due
to the restrictions, we regret that there will not be an opportunity to meet
with the Directors before or after the meeting nor will we be able to serve
refreshments.
The situation in relation to COVID-19 continues to develop. The Board
encourages shareholders to monitor the Company's website and regulatory news
services for any updates in relation to the AGM. The Board would like to
take this opportunity to thank all shareholders for their support and
understanding in these challenging circumstances.
