Timothy Yeo26 Sep 2020 09:42
One thing that concerns me about yesterday's RNS other than its timing is whether Timothy Yeo is an Independent Chairman. In the circular of 25 June 2020 which gave the terms of the W2T takeover on page 9 it states:
'Concert Party certain Sellers being Aquavista Limited, Marianna Beck, Jane
Bennett, Tony Bennett, Bruce Drew, Linda Farnes, John Hall, Peter
Jones OBE, Keith Riley, Piangkwan Thummukgool, Paul Warwick,
Ben White, Howard White, Josh White, Serena White-Reyes, Diane
Yeo, Timothy Yeo and Anna-Mariya Yordanova and as further
described in paragraph 9 of Part I and paragraph 1 of Part II'
As will be seen Tim Yeo was part of the concert party so can we be assurred that he will act at all times in the best interests of the company and not in the interests of the concert party alone. I am not sure if anything can be done as any changes to proxy instructions to vote against resolution has to be given in time for those instructions to be executed by Monday.
