Posting of Annual Report & Accounts and Notice of AGM

James Halsted plc (AIM: JHD), a leading manufacturer and international distributor of commercial floor coverings, announces that its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021, as well as the notice of its 2021 Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), will be made available today to shareholders.

The following documents have today been posted or otherwise made available to shareholders on James Halstead's website at www.jameshalstead.com: 

The Notice of the 2021 Annual General Meeting sets out the details of a proposed bonus issue ("Bonus Issue") of shares whereby Shareholders will be issued one ordinary 5p share for every ordinary share held by them at 5.00pm on 13 January 2022 ("Bonus Shares"). The issue of the Bonus Shares is subject to the approval of Shareholders at the AGM.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Bonus Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission will become effective and that dealings in the Bonus Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 14 January 2022.

The timetable for the Annual General Meeting and the Bonus Issue is set out below:

In the interests of protecting the health and safety of our shareholders, colleagues and the general public, the directors recommend that shareholders do not attend the AGM in person. Members of the Board will form the required quorum for the meeting.

Consequently, Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote ahead of the meeting by appointing the Chairman to represent them as their proxy. Details of how to submit a proxy form are set out in the Notice of AGM. Shareholders are also invited to submit a question that they have on the business of the AGM by email to secretary@jameshalstead.plc.uk. Answers to commonly asked questions will be published in a Q&A document on the Company's website following the AGM.
