Dear Shareholder
The 2023 AGM of Logistics Development Group plc (the Company) will be held at Fifth Floor, 1 Albermarle Street, London, W1S 4HA on 3 May 2023 at 10:00 a.m. The proceedings of the meeting will deal only with the formal business of the AGM.
The Directors consider that each of the resolutions set out in the notice of AGM is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend shareholders to vote in favour of them (as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings).
Voting on all resolutions in the notice will be conducted by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands. This results in a more accurate reflection of the views of shareholders by ensuring that every vote is recognised, including the votes of all shareholders who are unable to attend the AGM but who have appointed a proxy to vote on their behalf.
A member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of the member’s rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting for the member’s vote to be counted. If a member appoints more than one proxy to attend the meeting, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by the member. If a member wishes to appoint more than one proxy they may do so at www.signalshares.com.
To be effective, the proxy vote must be submitted at www.signalshares.com so as to have been received by the Company’s registrars. not less than 48 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays) before the time appointed for the meeting or any adjournment of it. By registering on the Signal shares portal at www.signalshares.com, you can manage your shareholding, including:
- cast your vote
- change your dividend payment instruction
- update your address
- select your communication preference.
Any power of attorney or other authority under which the proxy is submitted must be returned to the Company’s Registrars, Link Group, PXS1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL. If a paper form of proxy is requested from the registrar, it should be completed and returned to Link Group, PXS1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL to be received not less than 48 hours before the time of the meeting.
Link Group, the company’s registrar, has launched a shareholder app: LinkVote+. It’s free to download and use and gives shareholders the ability to access their shareholding record at any time and allows users to submit a proxy appointment quickly and easily online rather than through the post. The app is available to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
If you are an institutional investor you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 10.00 a.m. on 28 April 2023 in order to be considered valid or, if the meeting is adjourned, by the time which is 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity’s associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy. An electronic proxy appointment via the Proxymity platform may be revoked completely by sending an authenticated message via the platform instructing the removal of your proxy vote.
We strongly recommend that any shareholders who have requested a hard copy proxy form* appoint the Chair of the meeting, as their proxy. This will ensure that your vote will be counted even if attendance at the meeting is restricted, or you are unable to attend in person.
We invite you to raise any questions by emailing or writing to us at company.secretary@ldgplc.com. We will respond directly or post responses to general themes raised by shareholders on our website.
Yours faithfully
Adrian Collins
Chairman
