Motorpoint Group Plc
("Motorpoint" or the "Company")
Update re Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or the "Meeting")
Motorpoint, the UK's leading independent omni-channel vehicle retailer, announces that, in light of the rise in the number of coronavirus cases reported in the UK, and in order to protect the health and safety of the Company's shareholders and colleagues, the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday 27 July 2021 will now be held as a closed Meeting.
 
The Meeting will be convened with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders, facilitated by the Company. Regrettably, no additional shareholders will be able to attend the AGM in person and any person seeking to attend the Meeting will be refused entry. The Company therefore strongly encourages all shareholders to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy and to submit their voting instructions electronically in advance of the Meeting, in accordance with the instructions contained in the Notice of AGM.
 
The Board recognises that the AGM provides an important opportunity to engage with shareholders. Given the changed format of the Meeting, the Company will ensure that shareholders can follow the proceedings using a conference call link and requests that any questions are submitted in writing prior to the AGM. Shareholders may obtain the conference call details or submit a question, by writing to investor.relations@motorpoint.co.uk with details of their name, shareholding and question by 10:00 am on 26 July 2021.
