Requisition of General Meeting
The Board of Van Elle notes the press commentary over the weekend and confirms that it has received a letter from Michael Ellis, the former Chairman, requesting that the Company convenes a general meeting of Van Elle's shareholders. At the meeting, Mr Ellis proposes that resolutions be put to shareholders seeking the appointment of himself and his son-in-law, Thomas Lindup, as directors of the Company, as well as resolutions to remove Jon Fenton, Chief Executive, and Robin Williams, Senior Independent Director, as directors of the Company.
The Company has until 29 November 2017 to send a circular to shareholders convening the shareholder meeting and will issue this in due course. At this time, the Board recommends that shareholders take no action.
The Board confirms that trading conditions for the Group are unchanged since the announcement of 12 September 2017 and confirms that it will provide a scheduled update on trading for the first half of the financial year later this month.
