RE: Buy back5 Aug 2020 15:23
Agadem, I'm no expert either (and don't purport to speak for everyone!l) but as the resolution was passed at the AGM they could have instructed Mirabaud to perform a buy back, but the resolution does state they have no intention to do so (in which case, why ask for the authority to do so??)
'Resolution 11 – To approve the purchase of the Company’s own shares
This resolution would, if passed, authorise the Company to make market purchases of up to 149,361,621 of its own ordinary shares, representing 14.99% of the current issued share capital of the Company. This resolution specifies the minimum and maximum prices at which the ordinary shares may be bought under this authority. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the Company’s next annual general meeting. It is the intention of the Directors to seek to renew this authority every year.
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the authority granted by this resolution, but the authority provides the flexibility
to allow them to do so in future. The Directors would not exercise the authority unless they believed that the expected effect would promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole. Any shares purchased would be effected by a purchase in the market and may either be cancelled or held as treasury shares, which may then be cancelled, sold for cash or used to meet the Company’s obligations under any employee share scheme
