Origo Partners PLC
("Origo" or the "Company")
Announcement Re Requisitioned General Meeting
The Company announced on 18 November 2014 that a requisition had been received from Secure Nominees Limited (the "Requisition"). The Requisition was sent for the purpose of requiring the directors of the Company to convene a general meeting of the Company for the purpose of considering resolutions to approve a number of changes to the board of directors of the Company and to the Company's investing policy (the "Proposals").
The Company today announces that it intends to convene a general meeting at which all of the Proposals will be put to shareholder vote.
The unanimous view of the directors of the Company is that the Proposals are not in the best interests of the Company or shareholders as a whole and could jeopardise the realisation strategy recently approved by shareholders at the general meeting of the Company held on 20 November 2014 and shareholder value.
A notice of the requisitioned general meeting will be posted in due course. It is expected that the requisitioned general meeting will be held in the second half of January 2015.
