Result of General Meeting
The Company announces that, at the General Meeting held earlier today, the Resolutions set out in the Notice of General Meeting were duly passed without amendment.
The number of proxy votes received 'for' and 'against' each of the Resolutions and the number of proxy votes 'withheld' were as follows:
Resolution | For | Against | Withheld | ||
No. of proxy votes | % of proxy votes | No. of proxy votes | % of proxy votes | No. of proxy votes | |
1 | 137,734,235 | 96.18 | 5,475,810 | 3.82 | 15,432 |
2 | 136,845,403 | 95.56 | 6,364,642 | 4.44 | 15,432 |
3 | 136,736,931 | 95.48 | 6,473,114 | 4.52 | 15,432 |
4 | 139,783,459 | 97.62 | 3,413,260 | 2.38 | 28,758 |
5 | 111,809,172 | 78.07 | 31,399,861 | 21.93 | 16,444 |
6 | 135,070,592 | 94.35 | 8,087,697 | 5.65 | 67,188 |
7 | 140,630,028 | 98.22 | 2,544,768 | 1.78 | 50,681 |
The Company is delighted by the strong shareholder support for the recent fundraising including the fact that all Resolutions were passed today. The Board notes the 22% vote against Resolution 5 which refreshes, post this fundraising, the non pre-emptive issuance authority the Company seeks on a rolling basis. In light of this fundraising raising approximately £153 million, the Company only intends to use this authority if there was a compelling investment proposition. The Company would look to formally refresh this standard issuance authority at this year's AGM.
The passing of the Resolutions will, inter alia, enable the Company to proceed with the Firm Placing, Placing, Open Offer, Offer for Subscription and Intermediaries Offer. The Issue remains conditional upon, amongst other things, Admission of the New Ordinary Shares having occurred not later than 8.00 a.m. on 8 July 2020 (or such later time and date as Peel Hunt or RBC Capital Markets may in their discretion determine).
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. The New Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the authorities granted by Resolutions 1 and 2.
It is expected that Admission will take place, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 8 July 2020.
