Notice of Annual General Meeting
 
The Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Company will be held on Thursday, 7 May 2020 at 10:30 a.m. at its offices at Stoke Mill, Guildford.
The Notice of the 2020 Annual General Meeting and Proxy Form are available on the Company's website at www.reachplc.com and for those shareholders who have elected to receive paper communications, copies of the Notice of Meeting and Proxy Form will be posted to shareholders today.
Reach plc is monitoring closely any developments relating to the recent outbreak of COVID-19 including relevant measures mandated or recommended by the UK Government regarding public events and travel. On 23 March 2020, the UK Government announced further mandatory measures in relation to social distancing to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. These mandatory measures include requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes; and stopping all gatherings of more than two people in public. As a result, it is not possible to hold our AGM in the normal way and attendance in person is not permitted.
As announced yesterday on 6 April 2020, after due consideration, the Board decided it will no longer propose a final dividend for the financial year ending 2019.  This resolution, as set out in the Notice of Meeting and Proxy Form has therefore been withdrawn.
Any adjustments or updates to the arrangements of the AGM will be announced on the Company's website at www.reachplc.com and via a regulatory news service.
The Board encourages shareholders to submit their Proxy Forms as early as possible.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1 of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), copies of the Notice of Annual General Meeting and Proxy Form have been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority via the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for viewing shortly at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
