The Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2020 , which was sent
to shareholders of Standard Chartered PLC on 1 April 2020, has been

Dividend
As announced on 31 March 2020, the directors of Standard
Chartered PLC have withdrawn their recommendation to pay a final
dividend for 2019 of 20 cents per ordinary share. Consequently,
resolution 2 in the Notice of AGM has been withdrawn and will no
longer be put to the meeting.
Annual General Meeting 2020
In light of restrictions put in place by the UK Government
regarding the maximum
number of attendees at meetings, we have decided to adopt
further measures, in
addition to those outlined in the Notice of AGM, to streamline
our AGM. As a result of this, we delayed the dispatch of the Notice
of AGM from 27 March 2020 to 1 April 2020.
The AGM will now take place at our head office, 1 Basinghall
Avenue, London
EC2V 5DD, rather than at etc.venues, St.Paul's, as stated in the
Notice of AGM and associated shareholder documentation. All
references to etc. venues in the Notice of AGM and associated
shareholder documentation should be read as references to our head
office. The date and time of our AGM will remain 11:00am London
time (6:00pm Hong Kong time) on Wednesday 6 May 2020.
Shareholders are asked not to attend the AGM and instead vote in
advance.
Assuming government restrictions on the permitted size of
gatherings remain in
place, shareholders will not be permitted entry to the AGM. All
shareholders should therefore vote in advance of the meeting. We
aim to host a retail shareholder call later in the year at which
shareholders will be able to ask the Board questions.
We are closely monitoring the impact of the novel coronavirus
(Covid-19) in the United Kingdom. If it becomes necessary or
appropriate to make further changes to the arrangements for the
holding of the AGM, we will ensure that shareholders are given as
much notice as possible. Further information will be available at
sc.com/en/investors/events-and-presentations/agm .
The 2019 Annual Report and 2019 Pillar 3 Disclosures were
published on 27 February 2020 and are available to view on the
Standard Chartered PLC website at
