I think you also have to assume news at any time as the
Company has been very vocal about the prospect of news flow.
Interestingly, the normal notice period for an AGM is 21 days and looking back the company gave exactly 21 clear days between notice and meeting for 2024 and 2023. This year however it has given 34 days notice - an additional 2 weeks effectively.
Theory
Looking back at the RNSs, there is an RNS dated 11 March re Intertek report stating ZERO microplastics.
I assume this was required by the Indian authorities re their certification application. Assume this was reviewed by the relevant bodies and they required more detailed on the residual. Intertek then get commissioned to do a more detailed assessment. RNS dated 10 April states the findings, which are positive and this gets submitted to the Indian authorities.
Assume this then commenced a 3 month clock for the certification process, this would give an end date around 10/11 July - i.e anytime now.
This is this interesting part - the notice on 18 June with 21 clear days, would give an AGM meeting date of 10 July. i.e Today [ potentially the same date roughly as the possible Indian certification process].
Because its India and things can take longer, they have added an extra buffer of 2 weeks.
The above is just a possible guess but it is strange that the notice period for this years AGM is much longer than the statutory and the company’s normal.
Here’s hoping I am right
