Hibernia REIT plc (HBRN)
Publication of circular convening an Extraordinary General Meeting Hibernia REIT plc ("Hibernia" or the "Company") confirms that an Extraordinary General Meeting (the "EGM") of the Company will be held at 1WML, Windmill Lane, Dublin, D02 F206, Ireland at 2.00 p.m. on 10 February 2021. The business of the EGM will be to consider and, if thought fit, to approve certain resolutions relating to the replacement of CREST with a system operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV for the electronic settlement of trading in the Company's ordinary shares (the "Resolutions"), which is required as a consequence of the UK's exit from the European Union ("EU"). Approval of the Resolutions is necessary to ensure the Company's shares can continue to be settled electronically when they are traded on Euronext Dublin and the London Stock Exchange and remain eligible for admission to trading and listing on those exchanges, which is crucial to the interests of the Company and its shareholders. Furthermore, the Company's ability to continue to comply with the requirements of the Irish REIT regime is dependent, amongst other things, on it maintaining a main market listing on a recognised stock exchange in an EU member state. The circular, which includes the notice of the EGM, (the "Circular") and a Form of Proxy have been posted to shareholders today. The Board strongly urges shareholders to review the contents of the Circular in their entirety, including the documents referred to therein, and consider the Board's recommendation to vote in favour of the Resolutions. The Circular, the Form of Proxy and copies of the documents referred to in the Circular are available to view on the Company's website, www.hiberniareit.com, and will be available for inspection during normal working hours on any business day from the date of this announcement until the EGM at the Registered Office of the Company. Public health guidelines and the EGM Proxy forms can be submitted in advance of the EGM by availing of one of the following options, which are set out in the notice of the EGM:
Any relevant updates regarding the EGM, including any changes to the arrangements outlined in the Circular, will be announced via a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on www.hiberniareit.com. In the event that it is not possible to hold the EGM either in compliance with public health guidelines or applicable law or where it is otherwise considered that proceeding with the EGM as planned poses an unacceptable risk to health and safety, the EGM may be adjourned or postponed or relocated to a different time and/or venue, in which case notification will be given in accordance with applicable law.
