('Equals' or the 'Company')

 

Notice of General Meeting

 

Equals (AIM:EQLS), the fast-growing B2B focused e-banking and international payments group, announces that that Notice of the Company's General Meeting ('GM') has been posted to shareholders. The GM will be held on Wednesday 29 July 2020 at 10.30 am at the offices of the Company at Fourth Floor, Thames House, Vintners' Place, 68 Upper Thames Street, London EC4V 3BJ.  A copy of the Notice together with the proxy card will be available on the home page of the Company's investor relations website, www.equalsplc.com. 

 

The GM is being held in connection with the approval of the Company's 2019 Annual Report and Accounts.

 

The continuing COVID-19 pandemic has led to the imposition of severe restrictions on public gatherings which probably will not have been lifted by 29 July 2020.  The GM venue may therefore likely to be closed on the date of the GM.  The Company therefore notifies its shareholders that physical attendance in person at the GM will probably not be possible, in which case the meeting will take place with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders, which will be facilitated by the Company in line with the Government's social distancing advice as at that time.

 

In light of the current circumstances relating to the continuing Covid-19 pandemic, the Board encourages shareholders to submit proxy forms and to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy with their voting instructions.  Further, it encourages you to submit any question that you would like to be answered by sending it, together with your name as shown on the Company's register of members and the number of shares held, to the following email address: agm@equals.co so that it is received by no later than 12.00 p.m. on 24 July 2020.  Please insert "GM - Shareholder Questions" in the subject header box of your email.  The Company will endeavour to respond to all questions either on the Company's website or respond individually.

 

The final arrangements will be published on the Company's website at https://www.equalsplc.com/content/investors/ shareholder-information one week prior to the GM.
