Incanthera's AGM will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 23 June 2021 at the offices of Gateley Plc, Ship Canal House, 98 King Street, Manchester, M2 4WU.
Legislation and government guidance in the United Kingdom relating to COVID-19 continues to place restrictions on public gatherings, so shareholders are not encouraged to attend the meeting in person. The Meeting will be held with the minimum attendance necessary to form a quorum (which will be facilitated by the Company) and will focus on the formal business of the meeting only.
In order to ensure that shareholders are able to follow the proceedings of the AGM, the Company will provide access online through the Investor Meet Company platform. However, shareholders will not be able to vote online during the Meeting and are therefore urged to submit their votes via proxy as early as possible, electronically or by post.
Shareholders are also invited to submit written questions for the Board to consider. Questions can be pre submitted in advance of the AGM via the Investor Meet Company Platform up to 9.00am on 22 June 2021, being the day before the AGM, or via the Investor Meet Platform at any time during the AGM itself.
The Board will respond to key questions during the meeting and will provide such answers on its website thereafter.
Shareholders who wish to attend the AGM online should register for the event in advance via the following link:

Incanthera is a specialist oncology company focused on transforming cancer treatment by creating environments in which cancer cannot survive. It seeks to identify and develop innovative solutions to current clinical, commercially relevant unmet needs, utilising new technology from leading academic institutions.
