RESULT OF AGM AND BOARD COMMITTEE CHANGES
The AGM of Treatt plc was held as a closed meeting on Friday 29th January 2021 at 10.30am.
As we announced on 21 December 2020, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the UK Government's current restrictions on public gatherings and mandatory social distancing, and the extension to 31 March 2021 of the regulations set out in Schedule 14 of the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020, shareholders were unfortunately unable to attend. We thank shareholders for their understanding in this respect. The minimum quorum requirements as stated in the Company's Articles of Association was facilitated by the Company. All resolutions were put to the meeting on a poll, the full results of which are given below.
