Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting
Further to the Company's announcement on 15 February 2021, the Board of Gresham House Renewable Energy VCT 2 plc (GV2O & GV2A) is pleased to announce that the Notice of its 2021 Annual General Meeting is now available to view in the Key Documents section on the Company's website at https://greshamhouse.com/real-assets/new-energy-sustainable-infrastructure/gresham-house-renewable-energy-vct-2-plc/.
The AGM will be held at 11:30 am on Monday, 22 March 2021. The AGM will be held virtually via videoconference; there will therefore be no place of meeting.
The formal Notice of AGM will be posted to those shareholders who have elected postal correspondence and will shortly be available for inspection from the National Storage Mechanism at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
AGM Format
The continuing COVID-19 pandemic has led to the imposition of severe restrictions on public gatherings. The Board has concluded that given the social distancing measures currently in force and in light of the latest published Government guidance and the provisions of the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020, that Shareholders will therefore not be permitted to attend the AGM in person for this financial year. The Directors understand and respect the importance of the AGM to Shareholders; however the health and safety of our Shareholders and the broader community is of paramount importance. Shareholders will be able to view the AGM live online. To register, Shareholders can click here: https://greshamhouse.com/gresham-house-renewable-vcts-agm-registration/.
The Board and the Investment Adviser will ensure that a quorum is in attendance at the AGM to allow the formal business of the meeting to take place. The AGM will include a question and answer session with the Board and the Investment Adviser. The live stream of the AGM will include a facility for questions to be submitted, however in order to cover as many questions as possible it would be appreciated if Shareholders submit their questions to the Board before the meeting. Shareholders are invited to submit questions via email at renewablevcts@greshamhouse.com or by contacting Gresham House Investor Relations by telephone on 020 3875 9862 by no later than 12.00 p.m. on Friday, 19 March 2021.
If Shareholders wish to submit more than two questions or comments, they are requested to indicate their two highest priority questions or comments and further questions will be considered if time permits. Questions and comments may be moderated to avoid repetition and to make them more concise. There may not be sufficient time available to address all the comments and questions raised during the meeting. Please note that individual responses will not be sent to Shareholders.
As is the case in respect of questions raised by Shareholders using the live link described above, the Company will not answer questions if (a) to do so would involve the disclosure of confidential information (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (c) it is undesirable or not considered by the Board to be in the interests of the Company to do so.
The Board will continue to monitor the Government's advice and urges all Shareholders to comply with any restrictions in place at the time of the AGM. If circumstances change and if social distancing measures are further relaxed before the AGM, the Company may consider amending the proposed format of the AGM. In such circumstances, the Company will notify Shareholders of any changes to the proposed format for the AGM as soon as possible via a Regulatory Information Service and its website (www.greshamhouse.com).
Shareholders will not be able to vote on the day of the AGM and are encouraged to vote on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in advance. The details of how to vote via proxy in advance of the AGM are set out in the notice of AGM.
