NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2020

 

 

Further to the publication on 17 March 2020 of the Bank of Georgia Group PLC
(the "Company") (LSE:BGEO) Annual Report and Accounts for financial year 2019,
the Company has today posted or made available to shareholders the 2020 Notice
of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice of AGM") and related form of proxy.

 

The Notice of AGM and form of proxy are available on the Company's website
https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/information/meetings
(https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/information/meetings) . The Annual Report and
Accounts for financial year 2019 also continue to be available at
https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/reports/annual
(https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/reports/annual) . A copy of the Notice of AGM
and form of proxy have also been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism
and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM
(http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM) .

 

The Annual General Meeting will be held at 10:00 am (London time) on Monday,
18 May 2020 at the offices of Baker & McKenzie LLP, 100 New Bridge Street,
London EC4V 6JA.

 

We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus). It is
currently the intention of the Company to hold the meeting as planned.
However, the Board notes the guidance issued by the UK Government on 23 March
2020, restricting social gatherings for a period of three weeks from that date
in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the fact that if such guidance remains
in place on the date of the AGM, shareholders will be prohibited from
attending the AGM. Given the current guidance and the general uncertainty on
what additional and/or alternative measures may be put in place, the Board
requests that shareholders do not attend the AGM in person but instead appoint
a proxy and provide voting instructions in advance of the AGM, in accordance
with the instructions explained in the Notice of AGM.

 

If the Board believes that it becomes necessary or appropriate to make
alternative arrangements for the holding of the AGM due to COVID-19, we will
ensure that shareholders are given as much notice as possible. Further
information will be made available through an announcement to the London Stock
Exchange and through an upload to
https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/information/meetings
(https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/information/meetings) .
