Notice of General Meeting

 

8 November 2021

 

The Board of Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings Ltd. (AIM:RQIH)
("Company"), the leading non-life global specialty insurance company focusing
on the Program Management and Legacy Insurance businesses, announces that a
circular incorporating a notice of general meeting which sets out details in
relation to a proposed amendment to the Company's bye-laws  (""Bye-law
Amendment"), and convening the general meeting of the Company to be held at
3:00 p.m. on 1 December 2021 at 71 Fenchurch Street, Ground Floor, London EC3M
4BS ("General Meeting"), has been posted to the Company's shareholders today
("Circular").

 

By virtue of its status as a Bermuda incorporated company and therefore being
subject to Bermuda law, the UK Takeover Code does not apply to the Company.
Since Bermuda law does not contain any provisions similar to those applicable
in the UK which are designed to regulate the way in which takeovers are
conducted, the Board is seeking authority to make amendments to the Company's
Bye-Laws to incorporate certain takeover related provisions.

A copy of the Circular, containing more information in relation to the Bye-law
Amendment, together with the Company's existing bye-laws and the proposed new
bye-laws (as amended) are available on the Company's website at www.rqih.com
(http://www.rqih.com) .

 

Terms defined in the Circular have the same meaning when used in this
announcement.

 

 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

The UK government's roadmap to lifting the restrictions on public gatherings
due to the COVID-19 pandemic were effected from 19 July 2021. The Company will
therefore hold the General Meeting as an open meeting, with shareholders able
to attend in person in the usual way (to the extent this remains possible in
accordance with UK Government guidance, which may change after the publication
of this document). The wellbeing of our Shareholders, employees and advisers
is of primary importance to the Company and while our preference is to welcome
Shareholders in person to the General Meeting, we will be practicing social
distancing and face coverings will need to be used. If a Shareholder is
attending the General Meeting in person, we require them to adhere to the site
guidelines in place at the time in relation to health, safety and security.
For the safety of others, in line with the UK Government guidance and
legislation, please do not attend the General Meeting in person if you are
experiencing any of the symptoms connected with COVID-19 or are otherwise
required to isolate or quarantine. The Company will continue to closely
monitor the developing impact of COVID-19, including the latest UK Government
guidance. Should it become appropriate to revise the current arrangements for
the General Meeting, any such changes will be notified to Shareholders through
our website at www.rqih.com and, where appropriate, by announcement made by
the Company to a Regulatory Information Service.  The Board welcomes
engagement with its Shareholders and understands that many people may not wish
to attend the General Meeting in person at this time.  Those who have
questions relating directly to the business of the General Meeting can forward
their questions to the Company Secretary by emailing Secretariat@rqih.com no
later than 1.00 p.m. on 24 November 2021. Answers to these questions will be
provided directly to Shareholders.
