Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC
("Plethora" or the "Company")
Further Regarding General Meeting
Further to the announcement made on 29 August 2014, Plethora Solutions Holdings plc (AIM: PLE) announces that the Company has posted a new Notice of General Meeting to Shareholders, which is intended to be in substitution for that attached to the Circular letter dated 29 August 2014. The new Notice of General Meeting to Shareholders will be made available on the Company's website, www.plethorasolutions.co.uk.
Shareholders are advised to disregard the Notice of General Meeting, and accompanying proxy card, attached to the Circular Letter dated 29 August 2014. It is the intention of the Board that a resolution will be put to the meeting of shareholders already scheduled for 17 September 2014 pursuant to the notice dated 29 August 2014 resolving that the meeting will be adjourned sine die. Please note that the date of the replacement General Meeting has changed to 18 September 2014.
Shareholders will receive a new Notice of General Meeting and a replacement Form of Proxy for use at the replacement General Meeting to be held on 18 September 2014.
All terms defined in that letter dated Friday, 29 August 2014 have the same meaning when used in this announcement. Shareholders and investors should read the whole text of this announcement.
Background
The Chairman of the Company wrote to Shareholders on Friday, 29 August 2014 in order, inter alia, to convene a General Meeting of shareholders to pass the necessary shareholders resolutions to approve the matters referred to in that Circular letter.
Unfortunately, the Notice of General Meeting attached to that Circular letter contained some minor printing errors. Because the Notice of General Meeting is a formal document, it is necessary to issue a new Notice of General Meeting intended to be in substitution for that attached to the Circular letter dated 29 August 2014.
Accordingly, a new Notice of General Meeting in which the printing errors have been corrected together with a replacement proxy card for use in relation to the Notice of General Meeting has been sent to Shareholders.
Shareholders are advised to disregard the Notice of General Meeting, and accompanying proxy card, attached to the Circular Letter dated 29 August 2014. It is the intention of the Board that a resolution will be put to the meeting of shareholders already scheduled for 17 September 2014 pursuant to the notice dated 29 August 2014 resolving that the meeting will be adjourned sine die.
Please note that the date of the replacement General Meeting has changed to 18 September 2014.
Action to be Taken
Shareholders will receive a new Notice of General Meeting and a replacement Form of Proxy for use at the replacement General Meeting. Whether or not Shareholders intend to attend the replacement General Meeting Shareholders are requested to complete the replacement Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed on it and to return it to the Company's registrars, Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA, as soon as possible, and in any event so as to arrive no later than 10:00am on 16 September 2014.
If Shareholders hold their Ordinary Shares in CREST they may appoint a proxy using the CREST proxy appointment service by following the instructions in note (6) to the replacement Notice of General Meeting. The completion and return of a Form of Proxy, or the electronic appointment of a proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending the General Meeting and voting in person should they so wish.
Recommendation
The Directors believe that the Placing & Subscription, and therefore the Resolutions set out in the replacement Notice of General Meeting, are in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders taken as a whole. The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings, which in aggregate total 131,949,742 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 31.8% of the existing issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

About Plethora:

Plethora is focussed on seeking to launch PSD502™ for the treatment of premature ejaculation.
About PSD502™ & Premature Ejaculation:
PSD502™ is a topical spray for the treatment of premature ejaculation containing lidocaine and prilocaine in a eutectic-like mixture. Premature ejaculation is possibly the most common form of sexual dysfunction in men. Epidemiological studies conducted in the US and in Europe indicate a prevalence of 20 - 30% in men of all ages. There is currently no globally approved and effective pharmaceutical treatment for this condition.
In the absence of any widely approved pharmaceutical therapy with good patient acceptance, the premature ejaculation market offers significant potential for development and growth. An effective drug therapy for premature ejaculation may have a comparable commercial potential to the erectile dysfunction drugs.
