 Posting of Annual Report & Accounts and Notice of AGM
 
Victoria PLC (LSE: VCP) the international designers, manufacturers and distributors of innovative floorcoverings, announces that it is today posting to Shareholders the Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 28 March 2020 as well as a notice of the  Annual General Meeting ('AGM').  The AGM will be held as a closed meeting on 10 September 2020 at 2.00 p.m.
Following changes to company law introduced under the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 on 26 June 2020, and as a result of the UK Government 'stay alert measures' and related guidance on social distancing and public gatherings ("COVID-19 Related Measures"), the Directors have decided that the AGM will be held on a closed basis which Shareholders will not be able to attend in person. A very limited number of persons from the Company will be present to conduct the meeting such that relevant legal requirements can be met. This decision has been taken to protect the health and safety of Shareholders in light of the COVID-19 Related Measures currently in place and recognises the possibility of increased measures being introduced nearer to the date of the AGM.
As Shareholders will not be able to attend in person, they are encouraged to pay close attention to the instructions contained in this year's AGM Notice in order to ensure their proxy votes are properly counted. All valid proxy votes to be exercised by the Chairman of the meeting will also be included in any vote taken at the meeting. The results of the votes on the proposed resolutions will be announced, in the normal way, via the Regulatory News Service as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the AGM.
Whilst this year's AGM will be a closed meeting, the Board would like to assure shareholders that the measures adopted this year are temporary.
A copy of the Annual Report & Accounts and the notice of AGM will be available from today on the Company's website at www.victoriaplc.com.
