Result of EGM and corporate update
RNS Number : 1487S
New World Oil & Gas
28 September 2017
PLEASE NOTE - this will be the final RNS Reach under the name New World Oil and Gas plc. All future communication via RNS Reach will be under the Company's new name, Eridge Capital Limited, which will become effective upon the Registrar of Companies in Jersey issuing an altered certificate of incorporation to reflect the approved name change.
New World is pleased to announce that the Company held its Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") today and that all resolutions were passed.
The Company confirms it has now fulfilled its obligations under the settlement agreement with the Jersey Financial Services Commission, who will now consent to New World ceasing to be an unregulated fund.
New World also confirms the Company has approved a change of name to Eridge Capital Limited and will commence its migration to the British Virgin Islands ("BVI"). As part of this transition New World has approved a new Memorandum and Articles of Association, which are available on the Company's website and will become effective when filed with the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands.
With effect from Monday 2 October 2017, New World's International Securities Identification Number ("ISIN") will be disabled and the Company's securities will be withdrawn from CREST. The Company will issue share certificates to those shareholders who currently hold their shares in CREST.
Moving forward, the Company will now issue RNS Reach announcements as Eridge Capital Limited. The Company expects to provide an update towards the end of October, as it progresses the migration to the BVI.
Nicholas Lee, Chairman of New World, commented:
"We are very pleased that shareholders have overwhelmingly supported the next steps New World needs to take in order to restore shareholder value. I would like to thank all those who voted and we will provide an update as to our progress at the end of next month."
