NOTICE OF PLANNED ADJOURNMENT TO DIFFERENT VENUE FOR
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 19, 2019
To the Shareholders of Prothena Corporation plc:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions issued by governmental authorities in Ireland in response to that pandemic, and to protect the health and safety of our shareholders, directors, employees, service providers and local community, we have determined that the annual general meeting of our shareholders (the “Meeting”) scheduled to be held on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, at 4:00 p.m. local time, at The Merrion Hotel, Upper Merrion Street, Dublin 2, Ireland, will be still be held on that date, but will adjourn and reconvene at the offices of the Company’s legal counsel, A&L Goodbody, North Wall Quay, IFSC, Dublin 1, Ireland, at 4:30 p.m. local time.
We value our shareholders’ attendance at and contributions to our annual general meetings. However, given the restrictions announced by the Irish Government on March 27, 2020, and April 10, 2020, to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we strongly encourage our shareholders not to seek to attend the Meeting in person. In particular, shareholders who are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms or who have been in contact with any person experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms should not attend the Meeting. In addition, in order to comply with the latest governmental restrictions, we may refuse entry to the Meeting or institute procedures or limitations on attendees, including limiting seating, requiring health screenings or imposing other measures or requirements to enter the building where the Meeting will be held. The Meeting will be conducted swiftly and efficiently, and the venue will be promptly vacated upon completion of the Meeting.
Despite these restrictions on attending the Meeting in person, it is important that your shares be represented at the Meeting. We therefore urge you to vote your shares by proxy in advance of the Meeting by completing, signing, dating and returning your proxy card or by following the alternative procedures described in our proxy materials for voting by telephone or the internet.
By Order of the Board of Directors
