Avidly Plc takes the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation extremely seriously and has therefore resolved on multiple precautionary measures concerning the annual general meeting, to be held on 1 April 2020, in order to reduce the spreading risk of coronavirus. The company follows good corporate governance in its operations and seeks to take into account the interests of the shareholders and the company in the prevailing exceptional circumstances. The general meeting shall be arranged within the restrictions set to prevent the coronavirus pandemic given by authorities. The company’s annual general meeting shall be held in order to conclude necessary general meeting resolutions among other such as granting the board of directors an authorisation to issue shares. That would enable arranging the contemplated rights issue disclosed earlier today.

• The company recommends exercising the voting rights by proxy representation. Information concerning the annual general meeting and its arrangements as well as instructions on granting a proxy are available at https://investors.avidlyagency.com/.
• The number of participants allowed to physically attend the annual general meeting shall be limited in order to secure that no more than 10 persons shall be in the same room at the same time as per the restrictions set by authorities.
• The company offers a possibility to follow the meeting, without physically participating in the meeting, through a video cast. In order to follow the meeting, a shareholder may order from the company a personal link by email at agm@avidlyagency.com by 4.00 p.m. EET on Tuesday 31 March 2020. The shareholders following the meeting over the video cast are not considered to have attended the meeting, and it is not possible to vote or pose questions over the webcast.
• All in all, the meeting shall be kept as short as possible and only necessary issues presented in the notice shall be processed.
• The participation of members of the board of directors and executive management team is limited to the minimum.
• At the meeting, no coffee will be served and no handouts will be shared.
• Seats of the venue shall be placed sparsely.
• Hand sanitizer shall be available at the venue and general cleanliness and hygienic shall be paid special attention to.

The shareholders are requested to comply with current restrictions and instructions given by authorities. Persons who belong to risk groups based on their age or medical condition or who have travelled outside of Finland 14 days prior to the annual general meeting, as well as persons with flu or coronavirus symptoms, are requested not to attend the meeting in person.

By these precautionary measures, the meeting is aimed to be arranged. The company monitors the development of the coronavirus situation constantly and follows instructions given by Finnish authorities.
