Annual General Meeting Statement
 
The AGM of RM plc ("RM"), a leading supplier of technology and resources to the education sector, will be held today at 11.30am. At the meeting, John Poulter, Chairman, will make the following statement:
 
"The first quarter trading performance has been impacted by the closure of schools and the cancellation of 2021 school examinations in the UK and Ireland.  The effect of this nationwide lockdown in RM Resources has been less significant than experienced in the prior year as the numbers of pupils physically in school has been higher and trading has recovered quickly since the reopening of schools.
 
The situation remains uncertain as a result of COVID-19 but the Group was profitable in the first quarter and remains in a robust financial position with net debt as at 28 February 2021 of £13.3m (February 2020: £30.0m) against a committed credit facility of £70m."
