POSTING OF ADMISSION DOCUMENT
Likewise Group plc, the fast growing UK floor coverings distributor, is pleased to announce that, further to the announcement made by the Company on 28 July 2021 concerning the "Confirmation of Successful Placing", the Admission Document containing further details of the Placing and convening the General Meeting has been posted to Shareholders.
Following the Government's announcement on 12 July 2021, the Board notes that as of 19 July 2021, the remaining restrictions on social contact arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted. However, the public is being urged to exercise caution and the Board notes that an increase in infections is anticipated over the summer months. Although the Company is not expecting to be legally restricted in terms of attendance at the General Meeting, the Board remains committed to protecting the health and well-being of its shareholders and of the general public. Therefore, it is regrettably the opinion of the Board that due to the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases reported in the UK, shareholders should not physically attend the General Meeting. Accordingly, the Board strongly urges shareholders to consider whether travelling to and attending the General Meeting would be necessary under the current circumstances. In any event, attendees will be required to wear face coverings and keep a distance between themselves and other attendees.
The Company therefore strongly encourages all shareholders to appoint the Chair of the General Meeting as their proxy and to submit their voting instructions electronically in advance of the General Meeting, in accordance with the instructions contained in the Notice of General Meeting. Details of how to do so are included in the Admission Document.
A copy of the Admission Document is available on the Company's website www.likewiseplc.com.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meanings as set out in the Company's announcement of its proposed fundraising dated 26 July 2021.
