Withdrawal of AGM Resolutions
The Board of Europa announces that it has decided to withdraw Resolutions 3, 4, 7 and 8 from the agenda of the annual general meeting ("AGM") of the Company's shareholders, to be held at The Hellenic Centre, 16-18 Paddington Street, London W1U 5AS at 11.00 a.m. (UK time) this morning.
Resolution 3 was to re-elect Mr Stephen Williams as a director, and resolution 4 to re-elect Mr Simon Oddie as a director. These directors were retiring under the one-third rotation provision of the Company's articles of association. Following consultations with shareholders, these directors have withdrawn their candidacy for re-election, and the Board has agreed to withdraw these resolutions. Consequently, Messrs Oddie and Williams will no longer be directors of the Company at the close of the AGM.
Resolution 7 proposed the authority to allot equity securities on a pre-emptive basis with adjustments to statutory pre-emption requirements to deal with fractional entitlements and overseas legal requirements. Resolution 8 proposed the authority to allot equity securities for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis up to
a maximum nominal value of the issued share capital.
Some of the Company's shareholders have expressed concerns about these special resolutions. Given that the Company has no plans to raise additional capital, the board has decided to remove resolutions 7 and 8 and will seek authorities in respect of specific transactions as and when applicable.
