AGM/GM24 Aug 2019 10:47
I thinks it’s safe to post further details now…it’s fair to say I got a little drunk after the AGM!
The usual Directors were there, AB, AGH, and NL, the part time CFO. CB dialled in from his vacation destination, possibly on a beach sipping ****tails in speedos, I’ll leave the rest to your imagination…
Yes, there were only 7 shareholders present, one couldn’t vote as it was too late. Another very large shareholder wasn’t allowed in because he had no paperwork. They started off with the AGM first to vote on the ordinary resolutions, they asked for a show of hands to vote for and against. Technically, my hand counted as 3 votes, because I was appointed proxy by a couple of shareholders, I’m not sure if they actually factored that in, but we manged to vote against 3 out of the 4 resolutions by show of hands, the only one that passed was the adoption of the accounts from 2018. AB put the other resolutions to a poll which means they will be decided by number of shares voted. It appeared that they didn’t have the full share count to hand, so the results will be published at a later date.
When the GM started, AB read out the first resolution “approve the proposed Sub-Division” and asked if anyone had any questions before we vote... I raised my hand and asked “what does it mean?” The solicitor from Druces explained that we need to lower the Nominal value so we can raise money below 1p. This caused others to start asking questions and, long story short, thanks to FireballXL5, we manged to get the GM adjourned. In the meantime, AB proposed that we hold another meeting in a couple of weeks to discuss the future of the company and terms of the Royalty. We are looking to get a deal on the table that looks after current shareholders, before we consider voting at the adjourned GM.
Let’s just say it’s a good job those of us that went actually showed up, otherwise everything would have been voted through and we would have little to no negotiating power left...
