The resolution will be contained in the Company's Notice of AGM that will be sent to shareholders, along with its annual report and will be accompanied by the Board's recommendation to shareholders in respect of voting on the continuation resolution.
The Board has consulted with shareholders and has taken into account feedback received during those discussions and its intention is to recommend that shareholders vote against continuation of the Company. Further details on the background to this decision will be included in the Company's annual report.
