Change of Venue and Time for General Meeting convened by notice dated 6 February 2015 ("General Meeting")
It is with regret that the Board must announce that, following threats from persons unknown, the Grange Hotel at Tower Hill in London has informed the Company that it is no longer willing to host the General Meeting on 4 March 2015. Accordingly, the new venue for this General Meeting will be Ibrox Stadium, in Glasgow, at a date to be determined.
The original London venue was selected for the General Meeting because the Board felt that previous General Meetings held at Ibrox had been disrupted by chanting and other shouting and accordingly had sought a business venue where a meeting could be held with more decorum. Following threats it was decided to seek a second London venue, not least because, for legal reasons, this would have preserved the ability to continue to hold the meeting on 4 March. Unfortunately, these efforts have now been thwarted.
A further announcement will be made as soon as possible once a new time and date for the General Meeting have been established.
