Requisition of General Meeting
Sweett Group plc announces that shareholders owning 14% of the issued share capital of the Group, including former Chairman Francis Ives, are seeking to requisition the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Sweett Group to call a general meeting of shareholders for the purpose of adding Francis Ives to the Board as Chairman and removing non-executive Chairman Michael Henderson and any Directors appointed between today's date and the date of the general meeting.
Sweett Group has best practice corporate governance processes and procedures in place for hiring new directors to the Board through its Nominations Committee.
