As at 31 March, 2022, the Concert Party owned 28.09% of the Company’s issued share capital.
As stated in the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 31 December, 2021, following a formal evaluation of the Board, the directors are satisfied that the current mix of skills and experience on the Board is appropriate to the requirements of the Company.
The Board has however been advised by Guernsey legal counsel that the notice of requisition is valid and will therefore on or before 1 July 2022 be issuing a notice convening an extraordinary general meeting for the purpose of considering the proposed appointment of the two additional directors. In the meantime the Board will consult with shareholders to seek their views on these proposed appointments.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
