NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

 

PROPOSED CHANGE OF INVESTING POLICY AND ADOPTION OF REVISED SHARE OPTIONS PLAN

 

Polo Resources Limited (AIM: POL), the natural resources investment company with interests in oil and gas, gold, coal, copper, phosphate, iron and vanadium announces it will today send a Circular to Shareholders to convene the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") of the Company to seek Shareholders approval to adopt a new investing policy in accordance with AIM Rule 8 and a Revised Share Options Plan.

The Company's Proposed Investing Policy and Rational for Change

The Company became an investing company under AIM Rules in July 2010 to invest in the resource and energy sectors. Whilst the Board is seeing improvements in market sentiment across the natural resources sector, this sector has not generally performed well in recent times and the outlook remains uncertain. Therefore, whilst the Company will retain exposure to this sector, the Board has concluded that it is in the Shareholders' interests for the Company to continue as an investing company by amending the Company's investing policy to include other sectors that the Board considers are likely to generate attractive returns for Shareholders.

The Board believes that growth in Asia Pacific will remain strong and that the Company's strategy will focus on direct and indirect investments in this geographical area. This change in investment policy is supported by analysis undertaken by Multilateral Organisations including the Asian Development Bank who opined that economic activity in Asia will continue to grow, with the region expecting to contribute about 60 per cent of global growth in the next couple of years.

The Board believes that its broad collective experience in investing together with their extensive network of contacts will assist them in the identification, evaluation, structuring and funding of appropriate investment opportunities. When necessary, external consultants and professionals will be engaged to assist in the evaluation of prospective targets, their management teams and the respective market place.

1 The proposed investing policy is set out in full in the Circular to Shareholders to convene the AGM.

 

The Company's Revised Share Options Plan

The Board is proposing a Revised Share Options Plan as the existing Share Option Policy is due to expire and has become dysfunctional in terms of granting options.

General Meeting

The adoption of the new investing policy is conditional on the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution of the Company to be proposed at the AGM. The AGM will be held on 25 January 2017 at 10.00 am Malaysia Time (2.00 am GMT) at Suite 8.01, 8th Floor, Menara IGB, Mid Valley City, Lingkaran Syed Putra, Kuala Lumpur 59200, Malaysia, at which the resolutions to approve and adopt the new investing policy and the revised share options plan will be proposed. The Circular to Shareholders to convene the AGM is attached to this announcement.

The Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016, together with the Notice of AGM have today been posted to Shareholders.

Electronic copies of both the Annual Report and Financial Statements and the Notice of Annual General Meeting are available on the Company's website at www.poloresources.com.

 

Recommendation

The Board considers that the adoption of the new investing policy and share options plan are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders taken as a whole and, accordingly, unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions, as the Board intends to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings in the Company's current issued share capital.

This announcement contains inside information as defined in Article 7 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014 and has been announced in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of that Regulation.

To the holders of existing Ordinary Shares 30 December 2016

 

Dear Shareholder

 

Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

1. Introduction

 

You will find enclosed with this letter a copy of the Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016. This letter explains the business set out in the Notice convening the Company's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for 25 January 2017 at 10.00 a.m. Malaysia Time (2.00 a.m. GMT) at Suite 8.01, 8th Floor, Menara IGB, Mid Valley City, Lingkaran Syed Putra, Kuala Lumpur 59200, Malaysia.

 

This letter also explains why the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions proposed at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Resolutions at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

 

Resolution No. 1: Receiving and Adopting the Accounts

To approve the Company's annual accounts for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 together with the last directors' report and auditors' report on those accounts.

Resolution No. 2: Auditor's Reappointment and Remuneration

To re-appoint Chapman Davis LLP as auditors to hold office from the conclusion of the Meeting to the conclusion of the next meeting at which the accounts are laid before the Company and to authorise the audit committee of the board of Directors to fix their remuneration.

Resolutions No. 3: - Reappointment of Directors

 

The Board is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority incorporate the UK Corporate Governance Code which sets out the principles of Good Governance, and the Code of Best Practice for listed companies. No directors have joined the Company since its last Annual General Meeting. Taking due regard of the principles of Good Governance, the Directors offer themselves for re-election at intervals of no more than three years. Datuk Michael Tang accordingly has agreed to stand down as a director and, being eligible offers himself for re-election.

 

 

 

 

Resolution No. 4: Approve the Proposed Investing Policy

 

That the Proposed Investing Policy, as set out on page 6 of the letter to shareholders dated 30 December 2016, be approved and that the Directors of the Company be authorised to take all such steps as any of them may consider necessary or desirable to implement the Proposed Investing Policy.

 

Resolution No. 5: Approve the Proposed Revised Share Options Plan

 

That the Proposed Revised Share Options Plan, as set out on page 7 of the letter to shareholders dated 30 December 2016, be approved and that the Directors of the Company be authorised to take all such steps as any of them may consider necessary or desirable to implement the Proposed Revised Share Options Plan.

 

2. Proposed change of the Company's Existing Investing Policy and adoption of a Revised Share Options Plan

 

The Company became an investing company under AIM Rules in July 2010 to invest in the resource and energy sectors. Whilst we are seeing significant improvements in market sentiment across the natural resources sector, this sector has not generally performed well in recent times and the outlook remains uncertain. Therefore whilst we will retain exposure to this sector, the Board has therefore concluded that it is in the Shareholders' interests for the Company to continue as an investing company by amending the Company's investing policy to include other sectors that the Board considers are more likely to generate attractive returns for Shareholders. 

The Company's Existing Share Option Plan has been in existence since 6 February 2008. In view of the impending expiry of the plan's 10 year life span, the Board has proposed the implementation of the Proposed Revised Share Options Plan as a replacement.

The purpose of this letter is to explain the background to, and reasons why the Board considers the adoption of the Proposed Investing Policy and the Proposed Revised Share Options Plan to be in the best interests of its Shareholders as a whole and to seek Shareholder approval for these proposals.

Background to and reasons for the change in investing policy

The Proposed Investing Policy, which is subject to Shareholder approval, represents a change of the Company's Existing Investing Policy and is set out below:

The Company's current investing policy is as follows:

"Polo Resources' core strategy is to make direct and indirect investments in natural resources companies and projects, companies involved in supporting and related activities and companies involved in processing and downstream activities - both listed or unlisted - that are considered to be undervalued or have strong fundamentals and attractive growth prospects. Principal investment targets are companies with producing assets and/or tangible resources and reserves verified using internationally recognised standards such as NI 43-101. Polo Resources also invests in exploration companies, whose activities are of a more speculative nature. Principal investment targets within the natural resources supporting and related activities sector are companies that offer significant growth potential.

Natural resources companies or projects are involved in the exploration for, and extraction of minerals (including but not limited to), base metals, precious metals, bulk commodities, thermal and metallurgical coals, industrial metals and minerals, gemstones, hydrocarbons, energy and uranium, and include single-asset as well as diversified natural resources companies. Examples of businesses that are involved in supporting or related activities include (but are not limited to): onshore and offshore drilling rigs and equipment, drilling contractors, mining logistics providers, metals and mineral processing and rolling mills.

Investments can take the form of buyouts (with controlling interests) or strategic investments (with minority interests) in both public and private companies. Polo Resources may take legal control of a company from time to time and may also invest in other investment funds or vehicles where such an investment would complement the investing policy of Polo Resources, or where short-term equity stakes in highly liquid public company securities represents an alternative to holding cash.

There is no fixed limit on the number of projects or companies into which the Company may invest, nor the proportion of the Company's gross assets that any investment may represent at any time and the Company will consider opportunities anywhere in the world.

The Directors may propose a special dividend or implement share buy-backs from time to time but the primary objective will be to achieve returns to shareholders through the appreciation in the value of the Company's shares, rather than by means of distribution."

The general market conditions for the natural resources and energy sectors have been extremely difficult and we are not expecting any significant improvement in the near term.

The Board has reviewed the Company's investment focus and concluded that there are abundance of other opportunities beyond the natural resources and energy sectors that the Company should not be precluded from investing. It is therefore proposed that the Company's investing policy be changed to enable opportunities in other sectors to be pursued for the benefit of Shareholders.

The Company's Proposed Investing Policy is as follows:

"The Company's strategy will be to make direct and indirect investments in a portfolio of businesses and assets with at least the majority of their operations or early stage companies that intend to have at least the majority of their operations in Asia Pacific.

 

In addition, where the Company realises value from its existing portfolio of direct and indirect investments in natural resources, businesses involved in supporting, processing, related and downstream activities, it may reinvest the proceeds of these realisations in direct and indirect investments in undertakings related to natural resources and businesses involved in supporting, processing, related and downstream activities in any geographical jurisdiction.

 

Investments may be made in companies, partnerships, joint ventures and all types of assets including unlisted and listed equities, securities, commodities, bonds, debt instruments, royalties, options, warrants, futures and derivatives. For the purposes of efficient portfolio management, the Company may enter into hedging and foreign currency transactions. The investments may be funded wholly by cash, the issue of new shares, debt or other securities, or a mix thereof. 

 

There will be no maximum or minimum limit on percentage of ownership or on the length of time that any investment may be held. The Company may take legal or management control of a company, partnership or joint venture from time to time though the Company does not intend thereby to become a trading entity. The Company may invest in other investment funds or vehicles, including any managed by Directors or companies associated with them, where such investment would be complementary to the Company's investing policy. There will be no fixed limits on the allocation between unlisted and listed equities or other securities, cash and/or debt. There is no limit on the number of investments which the Company may make, nor the proportion of the Company's gross assets that any investment may represent at any time. Cash held by the Company pending investment, reinvestment or distribution will be managed by the Directors as they deem appropriate.

 

The Directors may propose a special dividend or implement share buy-backs from time to time but the objective will be to achieve returns to shareholders through the appreciation in the value of the Company's shares rather than by means of distribution. There is no fixed term for the life of the Company.

 

Any change in the investing policy will only be made in accordance with AIM Rules."

 

The International Monetary Fund expects that growth in Asia and the Pacific to remain strong at 5.3 percent this year and next, accounting for almost two-thirds of global growth. The IMF's latest Regional Economic Outlook for Asia and the Pacific concludes that Asia remains the engine of global growth notwithstanding external demand remains sluggish and domestic demand in Asia continues to show resilience across most of the region, driven by low unemployment, growth in disposable income, lower commodities prices, and macroeconomic stimulus. And according to the Asian Development Bank, economic activity in Asia will continue to grow, with the region expecting to contribute to about 60 per cent of global growth in the next two years.

 

The findings of these two respected institutions reinforce your Board's considered view that the Shareholders ought to adopt the Proposed Investing Policy for the Company.

 

The Board

The Board believes that its broad collective experience in investing together with their extensive network of contacts will assist them in the identification, evaluation, structuring and funding of appropriate investment opportunities. When necessary, external consultants and professionals will be engaged to assist in the evaluation of prospective targets, their management teams and the respective market place.

3. The Proposed Revised Share Options Plan

In view of the impending expiry of the Existing Share Option Plan in February 2008, it has become dysfunctional in terms of scope for granting options pursuant to the terms thereunder. The Board has therefore recommended the adoption of the Proposed Revised Share Options Plan. This will replace the Existing Share Option Plan.

Options referred to herein are those granted under the Proposed Revised Share Options Plan and are exercisable pursuant to and on the terms of the Proposed Revised Share Options Plan Rules as summarised below:

· Options may be granted to any employee or director of any Polo group company.

· No option may be granted after the fifth anniversary of the adoption date of the plan by the Board.

· Options over no more shares than would be equal to 20 per cent of the Company's issued share capital from time to time may be granted and no single grantee shall be awarded more shares than would be equal to 7.5 per cent of the Company's issued share capital from time to time.

· The exercise price shall be determined by the Board, however, in the event of any alteration of the ordinary share capital by way of capitalisation or rights issue, or sub-division, consolidation or reduction or any other similar variation in the share capital of the Company, the Board may make such adjustment as it considers appropriate.

· The exercise of an option may be conditional upon the performance of the option holder as may be determined by the Remuneration Committee. After an option has been granted the Remuneration Committee may, in appropriate circumstances, amend any performance-related condition of an option.

· Notwithstanding any other provision of this plan, an option may not in any event be exercised later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant or such earlier time as the Board shall determine.

· The Board may at any time alter or add to any provisions of this plan in any respect save that: no amendments may detrimentally affect an option holder as regards an option granted prior to amendment being made; no amendment may be made which would make the terms on which options may be granted materially more generous without prior approval of the Shareholders.

· The Company is indemnified against any tax liability incurred on grant or exercise of the options.

· All options shall automatically vest on a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Revised Share Options Plan Rules) or on any takeover offer or other merger of the Company.

· On the death of any grantee holding options, the options shall automatically vest and the personal representatives may exercise the options at any time within 18 months of the death.

· On the retirement or redundancy of any grantee, or in the event that they leave the Company by reason of disability or injury, the options shall automatically vest and the eligible employee may exercise the options at any time for 6 months following their departure.

· Subject to the above, options shall lapse if not vested by the date the grantee leaves the employment of the Company or the Board, unless agreed otherwise with the Board, and shall lapse if not exercised by the tenth anniversary of the grant.

· The Board may grant options over Ordinary Shares outside the Revised Share Options Plan to such third parties as they deem for at their sole discretion to conduct all and any business of the Company in the ordinary course.

 

4. Action to be taken by Shareholders

A Form of Proxy has been and a Form of Instruction for use at the Meeting of Shareholders are enclosed with this document.

Whether or not you intend to be present at the Meeting, Shareholders are requested to complete, sign and return your Form of Proxy to Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited, c/o Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY. As an alternative to completing the hard-copy Form of Proxy, you can appoint a proxy electronically by following the instructions set out on the Form of Proxy. In either case the Form of Proxy must be returned as soon as possible but in any event to be received not later than 2.00 a.m. GMT on 23 January 2017 or 48 hours before any adjourned meeting. The completion and return of a Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending the Meeting of Shareholders and voting in person should you wish to do so.

Holders of Depositary Interests are requested to complete, sign and return your Form of Instruction appointing Computershare Company Nominees Limited (the "Custodian") to vote the underlying Ordinary Shares on their behalf at the Meeting of Shareholders to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY, as soon as possible but, in any event, so as to arrive no later than 4.00 p.m. GMT on 20 January 2017. A holder of Depositary Interests has no right to attend and vote the underlying Ordinary Shares at a Meeting of Shareholders and should therefore complete and return the Form of Instruction so that the Custodian may vote on their behalf. However, if either a holder of Depositary Interests or their representative does wish to attend and/or vote at the Meeting of Shareholders they should request a Letter of Representation from the Custodian in accordance with the instructions on the Form of Instruction.

Holders of Depositary Interests in CREST may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Voting Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST).

 

To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent (3RA50) no later than 4.00 p.m. GMT on 20 January 2017. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. Holders of Depositary Interests in CREST and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the Depositary Interest holder concerned to take (or, if the Depositary Interest holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time. In this connection, Depositary Interest holders and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

 

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions at the Meeting of Shareholders as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings of Ordinary Shares (in aggregate representing 12.58 per cent. of the current issued ordinary share capital).

For the above reason, the Board has unanimously approved the Proposed Investing Policy and the Proposed Revised Share Options Plan and encourages all Shareholders to vote to approve the same at the Meeting of Shareholders.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Datuk Michael Tang, PJN

Executive Chairman
