Result of Extraordinary General Meeting
Kedco plc (AIM:KED) ("Kedco" or the "Company"). the renewable energy group focusing on the production of clean energy in the UK and Ireland, announces that at an extraordinary general meeting (the "EGM") held earlier today, Resolutions 1 to 3 set out in the notice of meeting, as included in the circular to shareholders dated 10 September 2012 (the "Circular"), were duly passed. The resolutions provided the necessary authorities for the Company to execute the Restructuring, Fundraising and Acquisition.
Following the receipt of feedback from certain investors, the Directors decided not to proceed with the proposed consolidation of the Company's Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the Directors sought and received consent at the EGM to withdraw Resolution 4 relating to the consolidation. As a result, Kedco's Ordinary Shares will remain as ordinary shares of €0.01 each and the ISIN number will remain as IE00B3DKXJ73.
The Company is currently in the process of finalising the Fundraising, Restructuring and Acquisition as set out in the Circular. The Restructuring and Acquisition remain conditional, inter alia, upon the Fundraising occurring and the Directors anticipate providing a further update shortly.
Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Circular.
