The company has sent out notice of its Annual General Meeting which will be held at 11am on 27th July 2018. There are the standard ordinary resolutions and sometimes the BOD also wishes to raise a 'Special Resolution'.
At last years AGM held on 27th July 2017 Resolutions 5 & 6 were passed.:
Resolution 5: 'To approve the renewal of the Directors authority to allot shares in the Company. If passed this resolution will give the Directors general authority to allot ordinary shares, on a pro-rata basis, up to a maximum nominal amount of £4,000,000 (representing approximately two thirds of the issued ordinary share capital of the company as enlarged by the approximately 280m shares to be issued to Hill Grove Investments Pty) This authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2018 or, if earlier, 15 months from the date of the resolution.
Resolution 6: 'A special resolution to dis--apply the statutory pre-emption rights of Shareholders in order to authorise the Directors to allot ordinary shares for cash either by way of a rights issue or without first having to offer them to the Company's existing Shareholders, provided such latter authority is limited to a maximum nominal amount of £2,164,014(representing approximately 35% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as enlarged by the approximate 280 million shares to be issued to Hill Grove Investments Pty) less the aggregate nominal amount of any securities issued by way of a rights issue.
The authority given by resolution 5 (authority to allot shares) and 6 (dis-application of pre-emption rights in respect of those shares) will provide headroom to enable the company to take advantage of fundraising opportunities in due course.
The AGM 27th July 2018 includes the following which is similar:
Resolution 6: 'To approve the renewal of the Directors authority to allot shares in the Company. If passed this resolution will give the Directors general authority to allot ordinary shares, on a pro-rata basis, up to a maximum nominal amount of £5,167,659 (representing approximately two thirds of the issued ordinary share capital of the company. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2019 or, if earlier, 15 months from the date of the resolution.'
Resolution 7: 'A special resolution to dis--apply the statutory pre-emption rights of Shareholders in order to authorise the Directors to allot ordinary shares for cash either by way of a rights issue or without first having to offer them to the Company's existing Shareholders, provided such latter authority is limited to a maximum nominal amount of £2,713,292 (representing approximately 35% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company) less the aggregate nominal amount of any securities issued by way of a rights issue.'
