("Scirocco Energy" or "the Company")
Result of Annual General Meeting
Scirocco Energy (AIM: SCIR), the AIM investing company targeting attractive assets within the European sustainable energy and circular economy markets, today announces that at the Annual General Meeting held today at 11am, Resolutions 1-5 were passed by the requisite majority. Resolutions 6,7 & 8 were withdrawn from the agenda of the AGM prior to the event following consultation with a number of shareholders.
As set out in the AGM Circular, the purpose of Resolution 7 was to provide a specific authority to issue shares to satisfy options issued to directors and former directors to settle fee deferrals during 2020 - 2022. With the withdrawal of Resolution 7 the company will now be required to cash settle any options if and when exercised. The actual cash liability is linked to prevailing share price at the time of potential exercise but is estimated to be c. £280k - £560k (at a share price range of 0.6p - 1.0p per share).
