Announcement, dated 18 May 2020
re: Update on
2020 AGM arrangements
18 May 2020
Lloyds Banking Group plc (the "Company")
Update on our AGM venue as a result of COVID-19
On 12 May 2020, we published a further update to shareholders to
inform them of some important expected changes to our Annual
General Meeting ("AGM") as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As
stated in the notice of AGM published on 19 March 2020 (the
"Notice"), this year's AGM is scheduled to take place on
Thursday, 21 May 2020 at 11.00 am.
The original venue specified in the Notice will not now be
available to host the AGM as a result of the ongoing restrictions
that continue to apply in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Accordingly, the Board has decided that the AGM will instead be held at
the Company's registered office at The Mound, Edinburgh, EH1 1YZ. The
time and date of the AGM remains the same.
As explained in our announcement of 12 May 2020, our AGM will be
held with only the minimum number of shareholders present as
required to form a quorum under the Company's articles of
association, who will be officers or employees of Lloyds Banking
Group. To ensure safety, other shareholders will not be
able to gain access to the AGM on the day.
For shareholders who have not yet submitted their votes, proxy
appointments or voting instructions we ask that these are provided
as soon as possible and received by Equiniti no later
than 11.00 am on Tuesday, 19 May
2020 in order to be valid.
To ensure that shareholders' votes are counted, the Board strongly
encourages shareholders to exercise their right to vote by
appointing the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to exercise their
right to vote at the AGM in accordance with their
instructions.
The results of the votes on the proposed resolutions will be
announced in the normal way as soon as practicable after the
conclusion of the AGM.
In recognition of the importance of shareholders being given the
opportunity to ask questions of the Board, and in order to provide
a business update during these unprecedented times, we will be
webcasting a pre-recorded presentation on Thursday, 21 May 2020 at
12.00 pm. Please refer to the announcement of 12 May 2020 for
further details of this virtual shareholder event.
