James Latham plc ( " James Latham " or " the Company " ) Update re Annual General Meeting latham THE NATURAL CHOICE James Latham announces that , whilst there has been a reduction in positive COVID - 19 tests in the UK in the past few days , in order to protect the health and safety of the Company's shareholders and employees , the Company's Annual General Meeting ( " AGM " ) to be held on 25 August 2021 at 12.00 p.m. is to be held as a closed meeting . The meeting will be convened with the necessary quorum of two shareholders , but no additional shareholders will be permitted to attend .
