Croda International Plc - Annual Financial Report and Notice of AGM
Croda International Plc (the "Company") announced its Annual Results for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the "Annual Results Announcement") on 2 March 2021. Further to the Annual Results announcement, the Company is pleased to confirm that the following documents have been published and mailed to shareholders:
- Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020
- Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice")
- Sustainability Report.
Shareholders who have elected not to receive hard copy documents will receive a letter from the Company advising that the above listed documents are now available.
The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at 12 noon on 21 May 2021 at Cowick Hall, Snaith, Goole, East Yorkshire, DN14 9AA. The Board is closely monitoring the evolving Covid-19 (Coronavirus) situation and will continue to have regard for the developments and to act in accordance with the guidance issued by the UK Government and relevant health authorities over the coming weeks ahead of the AGM. Currently, legislation and government guidance relating to COVID-19 prohibits public gatherings and restricts non-essential travel. Given the constantly evolving nature of the situation, there can be no guarantee that the current restrictions will not still be in force on the date of the AGM. The health and safety of our shareholders and colleagues is also our priority in making the arrangements for the AGM. As a result, and given the current restrictions, shareholders are strongly advised not to attend the AGM.
Details of how shareholders appoint a proxy are detailed in the Notice and shareholders are requested to appoint a proxy as early as possible to ensure their votes are counted. Shareholders are requested to monitor the Company's website and announcements for any updates in relation to the AGM.
Although the Company does not expect to have the opportunity to meet with its shareholders in person at the AGM this year, the Board is very keen to engage with all shareholders and will therefore be holding an online pre-AGM shareholder event at 2.30pm on 13 May 2021. More details of this event, and other ways in which shareholders can engage with the Company, are set out in the Notice.
In compliance with DTR 6.3.5(3) the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 and the Notice of Annual General Meeting are available on the Company's website on both the home page (www.croda.com) and the Annual Report page (www.croda.com/investors/annual-report).
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1 a copy of each of these documents has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
