2024 Scheme AGM – Updated 8 November 2024

1. This update sets out arrangements for the 2024 Scheme AGM.

2. The 2024 Scheme AGM will be held on Tuesday 19 November 2024 starting at 1pm. Like previous years the Scheme AGM will only be a virtual meeting. The formal Agenda and meeting notice can be found on the ESPS website: (https://www.espspensions.co.uk/).

3. The purpose of the Scheme AGM is to receive the Scheme Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023/24 and the Auditors’ Report, receive the report of the Scheme Trustee, and conduct any general business.

4. Members had up to 28 days before the date of the Scheme AGM to submit a written resolution to the Scheme Secretary with a copy to the Company Secretary. Therefore, this year members had until Thursday 24 October 2024 to submit any written resolutions to the Scheme Secretary with a copy to the Company Secretary.

5. Any Scheme AGM resolutions received were subject to approval following advice from EPTL's legal advisers, Fieldfisher. If you would like a copy of the resolutions to be considered at the AGM, you can find these on the ESPS website (https://www.espspensions.co.uk/) or request a copy from Muse Advisory, the Secretary to the Trustees of the Uniper Group..

6. A copy of the minutes of the 2023 Scheme AGM excluding the names of the people who asked questions for data protection reasons is also available on the ESPS website (espspensions.co.uk).

7. The software to be used for the virtual Scheme AGM can accommodate up to 1,000 participants which significantly exceeds the normal level of attendance at the Scheme AGM, and allows members to vote on any resolutions, allows questions to be asked by participants by typing these in, and is accessed online. A member without internet access could join by telephone and listen but would not be able to vote or ask questions – so online access is recommended and preferred. Anyone who wishes to attend the Scheme AGM virtually will need to provide contact details. This information will be held to allow us to contact you if arrangements are changed and will be dealt with in accordance with data privacy legislation. If there are any resolutions, the individuals proposing and seconding the resolutions will be able to speak using the virtual software.

8. Members are reminded that in order to exercise their vote on any resolution they must be present at the meeting (including via electronic means).

9. EPTL does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in Members’ resolutions. Members’ resolutions voted on and carried at the Scheme AGM do not have any power conferred upon them, and cannot instruct EPTL, Group Trustees, Employers, or others involved in the running of the Scheme.
