Cambria Africa PLC - holding company for firms operating in Zimbabwe - Believes cancellation of listing is firm's best option. Shares have been suspended for failure to release results for year ended August 2023 and half-year ended February 2024. "As a result the board anticipates issuing a circular and convening a general meeting in the next couple of weeks to seek shareholder approval for the proposed cancellation. The resolution to approve the cancellation requires the approval of 75% of votes cast in person or by proxy at a general meeting," Cambria plans to distribute USD5.4 million to shareholders in two tranches, as it receives expected payments at holding level. "Cambria is carefully considering the most effective and tax-efficient method to return capital to shareholders, whether through distribution or redemption," Cambria adds.

Libertine Holdings PLC - Sheffield, England-based linear generator technology developer - Says will not be able to meet "liabilities" and files notice to appoint James Clark and Howard Smith, of Interpath Advisory, as joint administrators. It receives offer from Sam Cockerill Ltd, owned by Libertine CEO Sam Cockerill, to buy Libertine FPE Ltd and intelliGEN Inc for GBP110,000 in cash. Both are Libertine Holdings units. There is an "absence" of alternative options so this bid is deemed best option, firm explains. "In light of the offer received, the company has concluded that it will not be able to meet its liabilities as they fall," Libertine adds. Once the sale occurs, it will be a deemed a cash shell, meaning it needs to make a reverse takeover or look to be an investing company within six months. Earlier in August, Libertine confirmed it has not received loan funding from Reliant FZCO in-line with a bridging loan agreement. It had anticipated receiving the first GBP110,000 tranche of the loan amount by last Friday and the second GBP110,000 tranche by September 14
