Â
Announcement Re Requisitioned General Meeting
Â
The Company announced on 18 November 2014 that a requisition had been received from Secure Nominees Limited (the "Requisition"). The Requisition was sent for the purpose of requiring the directors of the Company to convene a general meeting of the Company for the purpose of considering resolutions to approve a number of changes to the board of directors of the Company and to the Company's investing policy (the "Proposals").
Â
The Company today announces that it intends to convene a general meeting at which all of the Proposals will be put to shareholder vote.
Â
The unanimous view of the directors of the Company is that the Proposals are not in the best interests of the Company or shareholders as a whole and could jeopardise the realisation strategy recently approved by shareholders at the general meeting of the Company held on 20 November 2014 and shareholder value.
Â
A notice of the requisitioned general meeting will be posted in due course. It is expected that the requisitioned general meeting will be held in the second half of January 2015.
