("i3" or the "Company")
Result of AGM
i3 Energy plc (AIM:I3E) (TSX:ITE), an independent oil and gas company with assets and operations in the UK and Canada, notes that at its annual general meeting (AGM) held on 30 June 2023, all resolutions, save resolution 11, duly passed. Resolution 11, a special resolution, did not pass.
Special resolution 11, to authorize the Directors to disapply pre-emption rights. Section 561(1) of the Companies Act 2006 provides that if the Directors wish to allot any equity securities or sell any treasury shares (if it holds any), for cash, the Company must first offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings. Section 561 does not apply in connection with allotments made pursuant to an employee share scheme.
The purpose of this resolution was to seek power for the Directors to allot equity securities or sell any treasury shares for cash as if Section 561(1) of the Companies Act 2006 did not apply in connection with rights issues, open offers and other pre-emptive and non-pre-emptive offers and issues pursuant to the authority granted by resolution 10, to authorize the Directors to allot Ordinary Shares.
As a result of the resolution not passing the Company will seek shareholder approval to disapply pre-emptive rights if and as required.
