COVID-19 and Challenges of Convening a Physical Meeting

  1. As a result of the COVID-19 Regulations issued by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the directives of the Lagos State Government banning gatherings of more than 50 persons whether held in public or privately, as well as the social distancing rules prescribed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, the directors are conscious of and very concerned about the wellbeing and lives of all the shareholders of the Company.
  2. This is evidenced in the decision to hold this AGM in a manner that does not compromise the safety of lives of the Company's stakeholders or contravene the rules and regulations issued by the Federal and
    Lagos State Governments for the promotion of public health and safety of all.
  3. The meeting will be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the "Board") and the members of the Board who are resident in Lagos have committed to attend. Given the continued restrictions on public gatherings, the Board has resolved to deploy technology to enable shareholders of the Company attend and observe remotely the proceedings at the meeting. Accordingly, each shareholder will be able to either phone-in via a toll-free line or observe the proceedings through an internet webcast known as Microsoft Teams. The Board of Directors hereby advise Shareholders to explore these virtual (electronic) means of attending the meeting that have been put in place by the Company in strict compliance with extant COVID-19 regulations.
  4. To avoid compromise in the integrity of the system to be deployed, the Board of Directors have directed that robust details of these arrangements (dial in details and specific phone numbers) be provided to
    Shareholders individually. The Company's Registrars will ensure that the details are sent to the telephone numbers and email addresses of individual Shareholders which are recorded in the Register of Members.
  5. The Board of Directors therefore encourages Shareholders to complete the Proxy Forms attached to the Notice of the AGM to ensure that their votes count. The Board further enjoins Shareholders to embrace virtual participation in the AGM. In this wise, a shortlist of individuals who will serve as proxies has been provided (and specified in these Notes). Shareholders are advised to entrust their votes in the care of the appointed Proxies. Each Shareholder is required to tick the relevant box on their Proxy Form to guide the decision of their proxy on whether to vote for or against the proposed resolutions on the agenda. Such proxy forms will be accepted for use in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting.
  6. The Board of Directors strongly encourages Shareholders to vote in advance of the Annual General Meeting via the use of the Proxy Form to ensure a proper capture of all votes. This is regardless of the plan by a Shareholder to log-in and join the virtual AGM.

7. All Shareholders may on 27 January 2022, log-in to the Annual General Meeting from its commencement at 11am using the details that will be sent to the telephone numbers and email addresses of all

Shareholders. We recommend that Shareholders afford themselves ample time to complete the login process in advance of the commencement of the AGM at 11am to afford them a complete and hitch free viewing. Where any difficulty is encountered, kindly call this technical support number 07033082891.
