("AssetCo" or the "Company")
RESULTS OF GENERAL MEETING
The Company is pleased to announce that, at the general meeting which took place at 11.00 a.m. today, the following resolutions (the "Resolutions") were duly passed by the requisite majorities:
· Resolution 1: the sub-division of each ordinary share of £0.10 in the capital of the Company ("Existing Ordinary Share") into ten new ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Shares"); and
· Resolution 2: subject to the confirmation of the Court, the cancellation of the amount standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account and for the amount cancelled to be credited to a distributable reserve.
It is expected that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 11 August 2022 (the "Effective Time") with the ISIN code GB00BQ2K3557. The SEDOL code for the New Ordinary Shares is BQ2K355 and the TIDM is ASTO.
Immediately following the Effective Time, there will be 149,292,970 New Ordinary Shares allotted, called up and fully paid in issue, all with voting rights. The Company will hold no New Ordinary Shares in treasury.
Campbell Fleming, CEO of AssetCo, said:
"We are pleased to secure approval for the share split and be able to offer existing and potential shareholders greater liquidity and marketability in the Company's shares. We are actively engaged in expanding our shareholder base, which we believe the share split will assist with."
From the Effective Time, the figure of 149,292,970 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the circular to shareholders dated 22 July 2022 (the "Circular"). A copy of the Circular is available on the Company's website at www.assetco.com/investor-relations/documents/.
