  • COVID-19 Proxy Governance Update
    COVID-19 Proxy Governance Update 2020 AGM mid-season review FROM EQUINITI 01 Looking back and planning ahead It is incredible to note that it has been over 12 weeks since the official announcement on 23 March of the UK Government’s Stay at Home Measures, and nearly seven months since the severity of the pandemic became apparent in China. Over the said period, PLC boards, company secretaries and investor relations officers have kept their corporate calendars going thanks to rapid adoption of modified regulatory guidelines and inventive modes of engagement with investors. With annual general meetings being an obvious highlight in the corporate calendar, we take stock of the progress made so far over the 2020 AGM season, as well as using what we learned to plan ahead. Now that we are over the first ‘hump’ with the busy period of May AGMs out of the way, we are readying for the second ‘peak’ of June and July AGMs, and then an ‘easing’ until the second ‘mini’ season in the early autumn. As such, in this update, we look at: • 2020 AGM season statistics…so far • Proxy adviser engagement and ISS recommendations review • High-level assumptions for Q3 and Q4 • Relevant updates from the regulators, industry bodies and proxy advisers • Communications in the COVID-19 world – special commentary by leading financial PR firm,Camarco • How has COVID-19 impacted activism – special commentary by international law firm,White & Case 02 2020 AGM Season Statistics…so far Scope of data To assess progress and forecast what is to come, we look at the key statistics for the UK AGM season 2020 thus far.

  • A Transformational Year of Growth for the Company Following the Completion of the All-Share Merger with Medicx Fund Limited (“Medicx”) on 14 March 2019
    Primary Health Properties PLC Primary Health Properties PLC Annual Report 2019 Annual Report 2019 A transformational year of growth “ 2019 has been a transformational year in PHP’s history following the completion of the all-share merger with MedicX in March 2019, bringing together two high quality and complementary portfolios in the UK and Ireland. The business provides a much stronger platform for the future and has already created significant value delivering a total shareholder return of 49.2% in the year. We have also delivered the operating synergies of £4.0 million per annum outlined at the time of the merger, as well as a 50bp reduction in the average cost of debt. We have continued to selectively grow the enlarged portfolio, particularly in Ireland where we believe there is a significant opportunity, and further strengthened the balance sheet with a successful, oversubscribed £100 million equity issue, £150 million unsecured convertible bond issue and €70 million Euro-denominated private placement loan note. PHP’s high quality portfolio and capital base have helped to deliver another year of strong earnings performance and our 23rd consecutive year of dividend growth. Continuing improvements to the rental growth outlook and further reductions in the cost of finance will help to maintain our strategy of paying a progressive dividend to shareholders which is fully covered by earnings, as we look forward to the future with confidence.” Harry Hyman Managing Director Strategic report Corporate governance Financial statements Further
