Exhibit No. 1 | Description Voting at the Annual General Meeting dated 14 June 2022 |
Press release
14 June 2022
Argo Blockchain PLC
('Argo' or 'the Company')
Voting at the Annual General Meeting
Argo Blockchain plc, (LSE: ARB; NASDAQ: ARBK), a global leader in cryptocurrency mining is pleased to announce it has prepared a help sheet for retail investors in advance of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), which is available at: https://argoblockchain.com/investors.
The Company knows its shareholders are passionate about the Company's business and operations. As a board and team, Argo values the input of all shareholders, and wishes to ensure their voices are heard. One of the most important opportunities for shareholders to have their say is at the Company's AGM.
Following the general meeting of the Company held on 6 September 2021, Argo identified that some retail shareholders had difficulty in casting their votes. In particular, it seems not all shareholders were aware that the general meeting was taking place, or they found it challenging to vote their shares. As such, the Company has prepared the help sheet to assist retail shareholders ahead of the AGM.
As previously announced, a copy of the notice of AGM is available at www.argoblockchain.com/investors, which sets out details of the resolutions to be put to the meeting.
For the Company's retail shareholders holding via a third party broker (such as Hargreaves Lansdown, Barclays Wealth or Halifax Share Dealing), Argo expects their voting deadline to be much earlier than the date set by the Company. The Company anticipates shareholders holding through a third party broker will need to vote by no later than 19 June 2022. In any event, shareholders are encouraged to submit their votes as soon as possible to ensure the voting deadline is met.
The Company has engaged Georgeson to assist shareholders with any queries they may have about the voting process. Georgeson can be contacted by email at 'argo@georgeson.com'.
