Flowgroup plc
(the "Company")
Result of General Meeting
Flowgroup plc is pleased to announce that at the Company's General Meeting reconvened today at 12 noon to approve the sale of Flow Energy Limited (the "Sale"), the ordinary resolution put to shareholders was duly passed, with the votes having been passed as follows:
Votes For | Percentage of shares voted | Votes Against | Percentage of shares voted |
310,187,351 | 58.8% | 217,137,075 | 41.2% |
As detailed in the circular to shareholders on 11 April 2018 (the "Circular"), the Sale was also conditional on the execution (prior to the date of the General Meeting) of a revised supply agreement in respect of the future terms of energy supply by Shell to Flow Energy; the revised supply agreement has been executed. Accordingly, Completion is due to take place on 1 May 2018. Further announcements will be made as appropriate.
Following Completion, unless an appropriate opportunity to undertake a reverse takeover within six months (as required under AIM rule 15) is pursued, the Company will consider options available to it to effect the distribution of the proceeds of the Sale to stakeholders. Under all forseeable scenarios following Completion, the cash distribution to Shareholders will be £nil.
The full text of the resolution can be found in the Circular, which is available for inspection on the Company's website, as well as this announcement, at www.flowgroup.uk.com.
Capitalised terms used herein but not defined have the same meaning given to them as in the Circular.
