Glanbia Co-op Special General Meeting (SGM) 2021

Glanbia Co-op Shareholders who are eligible to vote will receive notice in the post to register by 5pm on 14 December, 2021 for the Special General Meeting (SGM).

As announced on 10 November, Glanbia Co-op proposes to pay €307 million to acquire Glanbia plc’s 40% interest in Glanbia Ireland. Currently, Glanbia Ireland operates as a strategic joint venture, 60% owned by Glanbia Co-op and 40% owned by Glanbia plc.

Voting on this proposal and a series of related resolutions will take place at an SGM of Glanbia Co-op on Friday 17 December at 2pm. The meeting will take place online in a virtual format permitted under current regulations and approved by ICOS.

John Murphy, Chairman of Glanbia Co-op said: “In light of the current public health advice and the fact that we have over 7,000 shareholders eligible to vote, our Board has decided that the SGM should be held in an online format. We are working closely with a proven technology provider to host the meeting that has successfully completed formal meetings for other Irish Co-ops. Our Members can be assured that we will support them in participating in this important meeting.”

“The Board believes that now is the right time to take this step to create a well invested, independent and future-focused Co-op. We are asking our Members to register by close of business on 14 December”, he added.
