Collagen Solutions plc (AIM: COS), the developer and manufacturer of biomaterials and regenerative medicines for the enhancement and extension of human life, announces that it is today posting a circular (the 'Circular') to shareholders containing the notice of Annual General Meeting ('AGM').

The AGM will be held at the Company's offices at 3 Robroyston Oval, Nova Business Park, Glasgow G33 1AP at 11.00 a.m. (UK time) on 23 October 2020, however, as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the legislative measures and associated guidance introduced by the UK and Scottish Governments in response, for the safety of our Shareholders, our employees, our advisers and the general public, the AGM will be held as a closed meeting.

Attendance by Shareholders at the AGM in person will not be possible and Shareholders or their appointed proxies (other than the chairman of the AGM) will not be permitted entry to the AGM. Further information on the arrangements for the AGM are set out in the Circular.

In the light of these measures the Directors of the Company strongly encourage shareholders to vote by proxy on all of the matters of business by appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy by submitting a proxy appointment in accordance with the instructions in the Circular and the proxy form.

Offer by Rosen's Diversified, Inc

On 27 August 2020, the Boards of Directors of the Company and Rosen's Diversified, Inc ('RDI') announced that agreement had been reached on the terms of a recommended cash offer by RDI for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company not already owned by RDI (the 'Offer'). The offer document containing the full terms and conditions of the Offer and the related form of acceptance were published on 14 September 2020.

The AGM is being convened in view of the Company's obligations under the Companies Act 2006. Whether or not you have accepted or intend to accept the Offer, you are still entitled to vote at the AGM, provided that you remain on the register of members of the Company at the relevant time. Where you have accepted the Offer before the AGM, your vote at the AGM will still be counted if: (i) you have followed the instructions set out in the notice of AGM and (where applicable) the accompanying form of proxy; and (ii) you are registered in the register of members of the Company at close of trading on 21 October 2020 (or, in the event of any adjournment of the AGM, on the date which is two days before the time of the adjourned meeting). Changes to the register of members after the relevant deadline, whether as a result of acceptance of the Offer or otherwise, shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to vote at the meeting.
