Share Capital Reorganisation
In addition to the usual business dealt with at the AGM, the Company also sought shareholder approval for a sub-division and redesignation of the Company's ordinary share capital (the "Share Capital Reorganisation"), details of which were included in the explanatory circular sent to Shareholders. The effect of the Share Capital Reorganisation is to reduce the par (or nominal) value of the Company's existing ordinary share capital from £0.001 to £0.0001 per share.
Following the passing of the Share Capital Reorganisation resolutions at the AGM today, being Resolutions 4 and 7, the Company's issued ordinary share capital, previously being 3,918,351,946 Ordinary Shares of £0.001 (0.1p) each ("Old Ordinary Shares"), is now 3,918,351,946 Ordinary Shares of £0.0001 (0.01p) each ("New Ordinary Shares"). As such, the Share Capital Reorganisation has had no impact on the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue, and each Shareholder will have the same number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the Share Capital Reorganisation as they had immediately prior to it.
In addition to the New Ordinary Shares, there are now two classes of Deferred Shares in issue, being 93,070,100 Deferred Shares of £0.009 (0.9p) each, which were in issue prior to the Share Capital Reorganisation, and 3,918,351,946 B Deferred Shares of £0.0009 (0.09p) each, which were created pursuant to the Share Capital Reorganisation. These Deferred Shares and B Deferred Shares have very limited rights attaching to them and are effectively valueless.
Admission to AIM
The Share Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 am on or around 29 April 2020. Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 3,918,351,946 ordinary shares with voting rights. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
The ISIN in respect of the Company's Ordinary Shares will remain unchanged in respect of the New Ordinary Shares. Existing share certificates will continue to be valid and no share certificates will be issued in respect of the B Deferred Shares.
