In light of the current coronavirus (Covid-19) situation our 2020 AGM and General Meeting to approve the acquisition of Merian Global Investors Limited (together the ‘Meetings’), will be held as closed meetings and unfortunately shareholders will not be able to attend in accordance with the current Government guidelines. In order to enable us to engage with shareholders on the business of the Meetings we are holding an audio webcast for our shareholders at 9am on 13th May 2020, which is in advance of the proxy voting deadline of 19th May 2020.
