Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not votes in law and so have not been included in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution.
As a result of the approval of the resolutions:
- the cancellation of the admission to trading of the Ordinary Shares on AIM (the “De-Listing”) will take effect from 8:00 a.m. on 8 October 2019;
- the buyback (“Buyback”) of 15,265,359 Ordinary Shares in aggregate from Brewin Nominees Limited, BDS Nominees Limited and Giltspur Nominees Limited at 1 pence per Ordinary Share will complete on 3 October 2019;
- the tender offer, the result of which was announced on 16 September 2019, will complete on 3 October 2019 (the “Tender Offer”);
- the Current Articles have been replaced by the New Articles; and
- the re-registration of the Company as a private limited company (the “Re-registration”) is expected to take place by 29 October 2019.
Total Voting Rights
Following completion of the Tender Offer and the Buyback, whereby 15,776,069 shares will be cancelled, the Company’s issued share capital will comprise 98,154,401 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. The figure of 98,154,401 Ordinary Shares may therefore be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms in this announcement (unless otherwise defined) have the same meanings as set out in the Circular dated 23 August 2019.
