AGM Statement
ViridasΒ is pleased to announce that all the resolutions put to the shareholders of the Company at the Annual General MeetingΒ and separate General MeetingΒ held today were duly passed.
At the Annual General Meeting,Β Stanley Wootliff,Β Chairman, made the following statement:
"Viridas is currently in discussions with a number of potential investors regarding the provision of funding toΒ progress its Jatropha project and based on these discussions the Directors are optimistic that fundingΒ for stage three of developmentΒ will becomeΒ available.
The DirectorsΒ believe that recent UK legislation setting outΒ fiscal incentives and penalties forΒ the electricity generatingΒ industry regarding the use of sustainable biomassΒ for co-generationΒ has presented Viridas with anΒ excitingΒ additional opportunity to supply the UK market with sustainable biomass.
Our production plans for 60,000 tonnes of crude jatropha oil for the European market will also produce 120,000 tonnes of sustainable biomass. The Company has already been approached by several leading industry players to enter a supply agreement for this biomass."
