Requisition of General Meeting
The Company announces that it has today received a further
requisition notice from HSBC Global Custody (UK) Limited (the
nominee holding shares on behalf of Keith Staton), which holds
10.39% of the issued share capital of the Company, to hold a
general meeting of the Company pursuant to section 303 of the
Companies Act 2006 (the "Second Requisitioned General
Meeting").
The object of the Second Requisitioned General Meeting is to
propose the following special resolution:
"1. That pursuant to Article 21.1 of the Companys (sic) articles
of association, the directors shah (sic), immediately following the
date of this resolution, cancel all bonus schemes, option schemes,
commission arrangements or similar arrangements in so far as they
confer a benefit or potential benefit on any director, provided
that the scheme or arrangement does not form part of any director's
service contract (including the contractual service arrangements
between the Company and any non-executive director).
2. That pursuant to Article 21.1 of the Company's articles of
association, the directors shall not be empowered to approve any
bonus policies or similar arrangements in respect of any director,
past, present or future, (pursuant to Article 26.3, Article 27.1 or
Article 27.3 of the Company's articles of association, or
otherwise) without first obtaining approval of the Company's
members by way of ordinary resolution.",
(the "Second Requisitioned Resolution").
For the avoidance of doubt, the Second Requisitioned General
Meeting is in addition to the general meeting to be held on 11
September 2017, which was requisitioned on behalf of Keith Staton
in a notice received by the Company on 25 July 2017 (the "First
Requisition Notice") and convened by the Company on 14 August
2017.
Avid readers of these resolutions will note that the Second
Requisitioned Resolution is an amended version of the special
resolution described in the First Requisition Notice (the "First
Requisitioned Resolution"), complete with new typographical errors.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will correct these errors
when it sends notice of the meeting.
The Company notes that, on the basis that the First Requisition
Notice has not been withdrawn, the Company is obliged to propose
the Second Requisitioned Resolution at a different meeting to that
at which the First Requisitioned Resolution will be considered.
The Company considers the time, cost and expense of convening
the Second Requisitioned General Meeting to be an unnecessary
further distraction from the sale process described in the
Company's announcement dated 14 August 2017 and that the Second
Requisitioned Resolution, if passed, would further hamper the
Company's ability to attract appropriate talent to the Company if
that became necessary.
On or before 5 September 2017, unless the requisition is
withdrawn, the Company will send a notice to shareholders convening
the Second Requisitioned General Meeting, to be held within 28 days
of such notice.
