EXHIBIT A
When and where will the AGM be held?
The Company will be hosting its AGM at 10:00 a.m. (local time in Cayman Islands) on Friday, October 2, 2020 at 190 Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-9001, Cayman Islands and via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FTCH2020.
Why is the AGM also being held online?
In light of COVID-19, and as part of our effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our directors, members of management and shareholders who wish to attend the AGM, we believe that hosting a virtual meeting is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Additionally, governmental restrictions may limit our ability, or we may determine it is imprudent, to permit shareholders in excess of a specified number to attend the AGM in person. We, therefore, encourage shareholders who plan on attending the AGM do so virtually via the Internet.
Who is entitled to attend the AGM?
Shareholders of the Company’s Class A and Class B ordinary shares as of the Record Date will be able to attend the AGM online and submit questions during the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FTCH2020 and entering the 16-digit control number included in the shareholder’s Notice of Annual General Meeting (the “Notice”).
