REAL ESTATE CREDIT INVESTMENTS PCC LIMITED (THE "COMPANY")
RESULT OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Board of Directors of the Company is pleased to announce that, at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held today (the "AGM"), all resolutions were approved by shareholders on a show of hands.
The Company will therefore, subject to receiving the consent of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission and compliance with the other requirements of Guernsey law, cease to be a protected cell company, and become a non-cellular limited company, and will change its name from Real Estate Credit Investments PCC Limited to Real Estate Credit Investments Limited.
As announced on 1 July, Mr Chris Spencer had indicated his intention to stand down from the conclusion of the AGM and, accordingly, he retired from the Board immediately following today's meeting. At the AGM, Bob Cowdell, Chairman of RECI, thanked Chris for his loyal and valuable service to the Company over the ten years since its launch and welcomed Mr John Hallam as the new Chair of the Audit Committee.
