Result of General Meeting
The Company is pleased to announce that all resolutions put to Shareholders at the General Meeting held earlier today were duly passed and therefore completion of the acquisition of N4 Pharma Limited is expected to take place on 3 May 2017.
Directorate Changes
Following the passing of the resolutions as set out above, the Company announces, each with effect upon Admission, the resignations of Gavin Burnell, Chief Executive, and Professor Humayun Mughal, Non-Executive Director, as directors of the Company and the appointments of David Templeton, Non-Executive Chairman, Nigel Theobald, Chief Executive, and Paul Titley, Executive Director, as directors of the Company. Further details on the newly appointed directors are set out in the Appendix below.
Share Re-organisation
At the General Meeting, Shareholders approved the Share Re-organisation which is expected to take place after close of business on the Record Date, being 2 May 2017. Fractional entitlements resulting from the Share Re-organisation will be sold for the benefit of Shareholders other than amounts of less than £5.00 which the Company will retain for its own benefit.
Change of Name and Website Address
At the General Meeting, Shareholders also approved the change of the Company's name from Onzima Ventures Plc to N4 Pharma Plc. The change of name will be effective once Companies House has issued a certificate of incorporation on change of name which is expected to occur by Admission. The Company's AIM symbol will change to N4P with effect from 8.00am on 3 May 2017.
Following the change of the Company's name becoming effective, its website address, which will include the information required by AIM Rule 26, will be www.n4pharma.com.
Voting Rights
Application has been made for the Enlarged Share Capital to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that restoration of trading on AIM in the Existing Ordinary Shares and Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Enlarged Share Capital will commence at 8.00am on 3 May 2017.
Following completion of the Company's Share Re-organisation and Admission, the Enlarged Share Capital will comprise 71,714,285 Ordinary Shares. Each Ordinary Share has one voting right. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights will be 71,714,285.
The above figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, N4 Pharma plc under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Defined terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as in the Company's admission document published on 13 April 2017, copies of which are available on the Company's website.
