Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and
Announcement of Change of Name and Trading Currency
Introduction
I am writing to give you details of the resolution to be proposed at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company to be held at the offices of FIM Capital Limited, IOMA House, Hope Street, Douglas, Isle of Man on 18 December 2015 at 11.00am and which is set out in the notice of Extraordinary General Meeting at the end of this document.
On 3 September 2015, the Company announced the sale of its entire interest in its subsidiaries for approximately €17 million. Due to the sale of its property assets, on the same date, the Company become an investing company under Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for Companies. As an investing company, it is required to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules or otherwise implement an investing policy approved at general meeting to the satisfaction of the London Stock Exchange within 12 months of 3 September 2015. If this is not fulfilled, the Company will be suspended pursuant to AIM Rule 40. If the Company remained suspended for a further six months from that date then trading in the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM would be cancelled.
On 23 October 2015 Shareholders approved a resolution to allow the Company to raise fresh capital which it did on 29 October 2015, when it raised €520,902 (£375,000). Cameron Pearce also joined the Board as the non-executive Chairman on the 29 October. The Board believes that it has sufficient experience and expertise in the sectors and regions in which the Company's new investing policy will be focused and can source attractive investment opportunities with the potential to achieve shareholder value.
This document sets out the detail of the Proposal to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting. It also explains why your Board is recommending that you vote in favour of the Resolution. Shareholders are encouraged to complete their Form of Proxy whether or not they intend to attend the meeting and return it as soon as possible, but in any event no later than 11.00 a.m. on 16 December 2015.
New Investing Policy
The Company became an investing company under Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for Companies on 3 September 2015. The Company's investing policy will solely be to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under rule 14 of the AIM rules for Companies. As such it will not make any investments that constitute a minority stake in a company. Any transaction constituting a reverse takeover will also require shareholder approval.
The Company will seek to acquire companies within the natural resources sector. Initially the geographical focus will be Australasia and North America but may also consider other regions to the extent that the Board considers that valuable opportunities exist and positive returns can be achieved. The Board will conduct initial due diligence appraisals of potential businesses or projects and, where it believes further investigation is warranted, intend to appoint appropriately qualified persons to assist. The Board believe it has a broad range of contacts through which it is likely to identify various opportunities which may prove suitable.
The Company would need to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM rules within 12 months from 3 September 2015 in order to avoid suspension of its ordinary shares from trading on AIM. If the Company remained suspended for a further six months from that date then trading in the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM would be cancelled
Change of Trading Currency
Also with effect from 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2015, the trading denomination of the Company's ordinary shares nil par value (the "Ordinary Shares") will change from Euro to Pounds Sterling. Thereafter, market prices of the Ordinary Shares will be quoted in pence, and the settlement of trades will be effected in Pounds Sterling.
The Company has taken the decision to change the trading denomination of the Ordinary Shares as a result of the disposal of all its investments located in Germany. The Company does not expect to acquire any investments in the Euro area or with trading activities denominated in Euros.
The Sterling value of the Ordinary Shares at 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2015 will be based upon the prevailing Euro to Sterling exchange rate as at 4.00 p.m. on 30 November 2015 as extracted from Reuters. Shareholders should note that the nil par value status of the Ordinary Shares will not be affected by this change.
Change of Name
The Company is changing its name to Glenwick Plc, and this will take effect before the end of November when registration formalities are complete. The Ordinary Shares will trade under the new name (ticker code GWIK) with effect from 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2015.
Consequent on the Company's name change, the website address of the Company will change to www.glenwickplc.com.
Certificates
No new share certificates will be issued to Shareholders holding share certificates as a result of the Company's name change.
General Meeting
The Notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting at which the Resolution will be proposed as an ordinary resolution is set out at the end of this Circular. In summary the Resolution proposes that the Company adopt the New Investing Policy, on the terms set out at above. Please note that unless the Resolution passes the New Investing Policy outlined in this Circular will not be implemented. However, the change of Company name and trading currency is not dependent on a shareholder vote and will already have taken effect by then.
Action to be taken
Shareholders will find a Form of Proxy enclosed for use at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Whether or not you intend to be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you are requested to complete and return the Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible. To be valid, completed Forms of Proxy must be received at the Company's registered office, IOMA House, Hope Street, Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 1AP not later than 11.00 a.m. on 16 December 2015, being 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Extraordinary General Meeting. Completion of the Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting in person if you so wish.
Recommendation
The Directors consider the Proposal to be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors therefore unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings, amounting in aggregate to 45,679,420 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 4.06 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.
Yours faithfully,
Cameron Pearce
