The Company announced on 8 February 2023 that a General Meeting ("GM"), pursuant to section 656 of the Companies Act 2006, due to have been at the later of 11.00am and 15 minutes after the conclusion of the Company's annual general meeting to be held that day, had not taken place but had instead been adjourned for 10.00am on 15 February 2023. This was due to the original meeting not being quorate under the Company's articles of association.
Notice of the original GM was sent to all shareholders and formed part of the documentation (including the annual report) regarding the annual general meeting which took place at 10.00am on the same day. The GM notice was also posted on the Company's website at the same time as the annual general meeting notice and can be viewed on the Company's website at https://britishhoney.co.uk/pages/shareholder-information
Notwithstanding due notice of the GM having been given, the directors believe it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to give all shareholders more time to fully consider the business of the GM and to attend the adjourned GM in person. The meeting has therefore been adjourned until 10.30am on Wednesday, 1 March 2023, to be held at Marriott Harrison LLP, 80 Cheapside,
