Financial calendar

The financial calendar below sets out the key dates in Care UK’s financial year. Dividends are normally announced at the same time as the company’s half year and full year results. It is the company’s policy to post the Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting to give at least 20 clear business days notice in accordance with best practice.

Business at the company’s Annual General Meeting will ordinarily cover the adoption of the Annual Report and Accounts, re-election of directors, the re-appointment of the company’s auditor, the authorisation of the directors to agree the auditor’s fees and annual mandates for the company to allot shares and to re-purchase the company’s shares. Full details of all resolutions are set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, which is published annually at the same time as the company’s Annual Report.

Voting at the Annual General Meeting is by a show of hands by members present at the meeting, unless a poll is validly demanded by shareholders. When a vote is taken on a show of hands, details of all proxy votes received for and against each resolution are announced. Directors of the company are available at the Annual General Meeting to answer shareholders questions.
