The Company is pleased to announce that the adjourned Subscription Shareholders' Meeting which was scheduled to take place on 7 June 2018 was reconvened earlier today and the Subscription Shareholders passed the resolution by the requisite majority (the "Resolution"). The full text of the resolution is contained in the notice of General Meeting in Part 4 of the Company's circular to Shareholders dated 15 May 2018 (the "Circular").
In accordance with paragraph 9.6.2 of the Listing Rules, a copy of the Resolution has been submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism at: www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
