1. Introduction
In the Company's Admission Document, the Board undertook to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company in 2015 where a special resolution would be proposed that the Company continue as presently constituted. The Board is therefore convening the EGM to propose this Continuation Resolution in accordance with the Admission Document.
In light of the Company's current realisation investment policy, adopted in 2014, which continues to focus on the realisation of the Company's portfolio and the return of net realisation proceeds to Shareholders, the Board is recommending that Shareholders vote FOR the Continuation Resolution to allow the Company to complete the process of realising its investments.
If the Continuation Resolution is passed, the Board intends that a similar resolution will be proposed at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened each fifth subsequent year thereafter.
In the event that the Continuation Resolution is not passed, the Board will consult with Shareholders to formulate proposals to be put to Shareholders to reorganise, unitise or reconstruct the Company or for the Company to be wound up.
The Continuation Resolution is classified as a special resolution, requiring a Shareholder approval threshold of 66.67% of Shareholders present and voting.
2. The Continuation Resolution
The Continuation Resolution, which will be proposed as a special resolution, will be proposed at the EGM. The Directors consider the Continuation Resolution proposed at the EGM to be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of the Continuation Resolution proposed at the EGM.
Terms have the same meaning as defined in the Circular.
