Berkeley Mineral Resources PLC
(to be re-named BMR Mining PLC)
(the "Company")
Result of AGM
The Company announces that, at the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") of the Company held earlier today, all resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed.
Accordingly, with effect from 29 May 2015, the Company's name will change to BMR Mining PLC (AIM:BMR) and, pursuant to Resolution 7 as set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting sent to shareholders on 27 April 2015, the Share Sub-Division and Share Consolidation will be effected.
Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading and such trading is expected to commence at 8am on 29 May 2015. The ISIN of the New Ordinary Shares will be GB00BWV0F181 and the SEDOL of the New Ordinary Shares will be BWV0F18.
Following the Share Consolidation, there will be 131,965,452 New Ordinary Shares in issue of £0.01 each. The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury and so this figure can be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which to determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to, their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Resolution 10 was passed by the requisite authorities and, accordingly, the Board has been granted the authority to issue New Ordinary Shares with pre-emption rights dis-applied up to the aggregate nominal amount of £5,000,000. The Company agreed at the AGM that, notwithstanding the passing of this resolution, it would not exercise this authority above an aggregate nominal amount of £2,500,000 in the period up to the next annual general meeting of the Company (or, if shorter, until 28 May 2016).
