Versarien plc

("Versarien" or the "Company")

Notice of AGM

 

Versarien Plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group is pleased
to confirm that the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Versarien plc will be
held on 24 September 2020 at 11.00am. The Notice of AGM and a Form of Proxy
will be posted to shareholders today and are also be available on the
Company's website. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit their proxy
votes either by post, email or vote electronically.

The Company has also noted the provisions of the recently enacted Corporate
Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 ("CIGA") and related legislation which have
altered the manner in which companies can hold general meetings until 30
September 2020 as well as the Government's advice that non-essential travel
and gatherings should be avoided.

Under the provisions of CIGA the requirements for a physical quorum to be
present at the AGM and for the AGM to be held in a particular place have been
suspended. The Company will ensure that the legal requirements to hold the AGM
can be satisfied through the attendance of a minimum number of Directors or
employee shareholders, either in person or by electronic means.

The AGM will be conducted swiftly, with no presentation by the Directors, no
question and answer session, and will end immediately following the conclusion
of such usual and formal business. Any Board members in attendance will not
meet with any shareholders who attempt to attend the AGM. Social distancing
measures will be in place and strict hygiene arrangements in force. Any
shareholders that do attempt to attend will not be allowed entry.

In the light of the above, and in order to ensure the safety of its
shareholders, officers and employees, the Board requests that no shareholders
attend the meeting. The Company does value shareholder participation and
values the votes of shareholders, so it encourages all shareholders to
exercise their voting rights by completing and submitting a proxy form as soon
as possible. Please note that due to restricted attendance, the chairman of
the meeting will be appointed as each shareholder's proxy.

Although shareholders are not able to attend the AGM in person this year,
shareholder engagement and participation remains important to the Board.
Therefore, any shareholder who has a question that they would otherwise have
raised at the AGM is invited to contact the Company Secretary by email to
versarien@yellowjerseypr.com by 11 September 2020 and the Company will post
any answers on its website at www.versarien.com after 5.00pm (BST) on 16
September 2020.
