AGM
A forum for shareholders
The 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held at Globe House, 4 Temple Place, London WC2R 2PG on Thursday 30 April 2020.
The AGM in light of COVID-19
In order to comply with the UK Government’s COVID-19 ‘Stay at Home’ measures, prohibiting, amongst other things, public gatherings of more than two people, the Company’s 2020 AGM was convened with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders, in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association. As a result, other shareholders were not allowed to attend the AGM on the grounds of safety. The business transacted remained unchanged from that set out in the Notice of AGM.
Shareholders were strongly encouraged to exercise their vote by appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy. All valid proxy appointments were included in the poll taken at the AGM and the results of voting at the AGM is set out below.
Shareholders were also given the opportunity to submit questions about the business of the AGM in advance of the meeting. Please click the link below to see BAT's responses to questions submitted.
