Pearson PLC - Notice of AGM
Annual General Meeting update
As a result of government restrictions on travel and the closure of our chosen venue until further notice, we have decided to convene the AGM, to be held at 12 noon on Friday,
Pearson shareholders are advised to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy and to register their proxy appointment electronically by visiting the registrar's website at http://www.sharevote.co.uk or, if they already have a portfolio registered with Equiniti, by logging onto http://www.shareview.co.uk by 12 noon on Wednesday,
If shareholders prefer to return a hard copy Form of Proxy, they should do so in accordance with the instructions on the Form, which was distributed with the Notice of Meeting. Where necessary, shareholders should contact the registered shareholder (the custodian or broker) who looks after their investments in the Company on their behalf, in order to vote their shares.
The Board recommends voting in favour of all the resolutions contained in the Notice of Meeting as, in the Board's opinion, they are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
The Board understands that beyond voting on the formal business of the meeting, the AGM also serves as a forum for shareholders to raise questions and comments to the Board. Therefore, registered shareholders and their corporate representatives or proxies are invited to ask any questions of the board by submitting questions by email. We will aim to respond to all questions submitted in this way. Shareholders may submit questions by email to chairman-agm@pearson.com.
Shareholders can view and download the Notice of Meeting and accompanying documents via the Pearson website at https://www.pearson.com/en-gb/investors/annual-general-meeting.html.
