Graphene NanoChem PLC
("Graphene NanoChem" or the "Group")
Result of Annual General Meeting
Graphene NanoChem (AIM:GRPH), the international provider of nanotechnology performance enhancing solutions for global industries, is pleased to announce that at the Company's Annual General Meeting, held today, all resolutions were duly passed.
Defined terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as those terms defined and used in the Circular to the Annual General Meeting.
At the General Meeting approval was given by Shareholders, inter alia:
· for the Capital Reorganisation, whereby each Existing Ordinary Share of 0.1p nominal value was to be sub-divided into one New Ordinary Shares of £0.01 nominal value and a 2016 Deferred Share of £0.19 nominal value; and
· for authority to be given to the Directors to issue up to 111,966,500 New Ordinary Shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis pursuant to Section 551 and 570 of Companies Act 2006.
The New Ordinary Shares in issue following the Share Capital Reorganisation will have the same rights as those currently accruing to the Existing Ordinary Shares in issue under the Articles of Association including those relating to voting and entitlement to dividends.
Shareholders will not be issued with a new share certificate for New Ordinary Shares and existing certificates will remain valid.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares created by the Share Capital Reorganisation to be admitted to trading on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 7 December 2016.
After the Share Capital Reorganisation there will be no change to the number of ordinary shares in issue which means there will be 116,536,536 New Ordinary Shares in issue. The figure of 116,536,536 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest, or a change to their interest, in the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
The Deferred Shares will have no value or voting rights and will not be issued with a share certificate in respect of the Deferred Shares. They will not be listed on AIM. Accordingly, the Deferred Shares will be effectively worthless.
Holders of options and warrants over Existing Ordinary Shares will maintain the same rights as currently accruing to them and will not be issued with new warrant or option certificates.
The Company's shares remain suspended from trading on AIM pending clarification of the Group's financial position
