1 Regulatory News Service Announcement, dated 19 March
2020
re: Notice
of AGM
19 March 2020
LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC
2020 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, Lloyds Banking Group plc
(the "Company") has submitted today the 2020 Notice of Annual
General Meeting (the "AGM Notice") to the National Storage
Mechanism.
The AGM Notice will shortly be available for inspection at
www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM
A copy of the AGM Notice is available through the 'Shareholder
Meetings' ('Shareholder Information') page within the 'Investors
& Performance' section of our website
www.lloydsbankinggroup.com.
Mailing of the AGM Notice, proxy forms for the 2020 Annual General
Meeting ("AGM") and related ancillary documentation to shareholders
will commence shortly.
The AGM will be held at the Edinburgh International Conference
Centre, The Exchange, Edinburgh EH3 8EE on Thursday 21 May 2020 at
11.00 am.
As of this date, the Government has announced that they are
advising individuals not to undertake any non-essential travel, and
to avoid large gatherings in venues such as restaurants, clubs and
theatres. They are also withdrawing emergency service support for
large gatherings. While it is not clear how long these measures
will be in place, it seems likely that they will affect attendance
at the AGM. Shareholders are encouraged to refer to the
Government's official websites, www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public and www.gov.scot/coronavirus-covid-19/ for
the latest guidance.
While it is a legal requirement for the Company to hold the AGM in
order to pass essential shareholder resolutions, circumstances may
require the normal proceedings to be shortened or amended and for
public health reasons we will not plan to offer refreshments this
year after the meeting. For shareholders who are not able to attend
we will seek to provide alternative arrangements for them to be
involved. We will communicate with shareholders before the meeting
through the Group's website, www.lloydsbankinggroup.com.
Updates will also be available on the Shareholder Helpline, the
number for which is set out in the AGM Notice.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to exercise their right to
vote and to submit their proxies well in advance of the deadline -
even if they currently plan to attend the AGM in person - as the
situation with COVID-19 may cause disruption to their plans at a
later date.
