Relations with Shareholders
The Group Chief Executive, Group Finance
Director and the Group Company Secretary are responsible for
ensuring effective communication with shareholders. The
Company places considerable importance on communication with
shareholders, including its employee shareholders.
Apart from the Annual General Meeting, the
Company communicates with its shareholders by way of the Annual
Report & Financial Statements which are available to all
shareholders either in paper form or electronically and can be
accessed via the Company’s website – http://www.synergyhealthplc.com/.
The Group’s annual and interim results, as well as announcements
issued by the London Stock Exchange are published on the Company’s
website.
The Company also communicated with its
institutional shareholders through a combination of analysts’
briefings throughout the year but particularly at the interim and
year-end results stage.
Business at the Company’s Annual General
Meeting will cover the Annual Report and Financial Statements,
re-election of directors, the re-appointment of auditors and the
authorisation of the directors to set the auditors’ fees.
The proxy votes for and against each
resolution, as well as abstentions are counted before the Annual
General Meeting and the results will be made available at the
meeting after shareholders have voted on each resolution on a show
of hands. All results, statements and Company announcements
are accessible to all shareholders via the Group’s website –
http://www.synergyhealthplc.com/.
All shareholders are invited to the Annual
General Meeting at which they have the opportunity to put questions
to the Board. The chairmen of the Audit, Nomination and
Remuneration Committees will also be available to answer
question.
The 2010 AGM will be held at the offices of
Investec Bank plc, 2 Gresham Street, London, EC2V 7QP at 10.30am on
28 July 2010.
