Requisition of General Meeting
Further to the announcements released by the Company on 19 November 2019 and 13 November 2019, the Board of Plutus announces that it yesterday received a letter from JIM Nominees Limited ("JIM"), regarding a requisition to require the directors of Plutus to call a general meeting of the Company's shareholders, in accordance with section 303 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"). JIM is a member of the Company and a holder of in excess of 5% of the Company's current issued share capital.
The requisition proposes that shareholders be asked to consider ordinary resolutions to remove all the current directors from the Board (being Charles Tatnall, James Longley and Tim Cottier) and to appoint Nicholas Lee, David Horner and Dr Nigel Burton to the board of the Company.
After consultation with its legal advisers, the Company has determined that the requisitioners' letter is valid. In accordance with the Act, the Company is required to call a general meeting within 21 days of receipt of the requisition and to provide for the general meeting to be held not more than 28 days after the date of the notice of such meeting.
A statement (the "Requisitioners' Statement") accompanied the requisitioners' letter, which the requisitioners require the Company to circulate to those members receiving notice of the requisitioned general meeting, in accordance with section 314 of the Act. The Board will comply with the relevant statutory requirements in respect of the circulation of the Requisitioners' Statement.
Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time.
Further announcements will be made in due course.
