Results of Shareholder Plan Meeting
Pursuant to an order made by the High Court of Justice of
England and Wales (the Court) dated 21 May 2021 (the Order), and
further to the announcement made on 24 May 2021 giving notice of
the meeting of shareholders of the Company (the Shareholders) at
12:00 p.m. today (the Shareholder Meeting), for the purpose of
considering and, if thought fit, approving (with or without
modification) the restructuring plan proposed by the Company under
Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006 (the Restructuring Plan) as set
out in Appendix F of the explanatory statement dated 24 May 2021 in
relation to the Restructuring Plan (the Explanatory Statement), the
Company announces the results of the Shareholder Meeting.
Shareholder Meeting
The Shareholder Meeting was convened at 12:00 p.m. today
virtually via video conference in accordance with the Order.
The resolution to approve the Restructuring Plan as set out in
Appendix F of the Explanatory Statement was put to the Shareholders
and was not passed as a special resolution on a poll.
The number of votes lodged for and against the resolution
proposed is set out below. 1,518,667 votes were withheld and 32.87%
of the issued share capital voted.
Votes for: 50,130,545 (7.66%)
Votes against: 604,636,415 (92.34%)
Further information
As set out in the Order, the sanction hearing of the Court to
sanction the Restructuring Plan is due to commence on 21 June 2021,
at a time to be confirmed.
The Company reminds the Shareholders that as the Restructuring
Plan was approved at the Bondholder Meeting by the requisite
majority, if the Court sanctions the Restructuring Plan at the
hearing on 21 June 2021, the Restructuring Plan will be binding on
all Shareholders despite the resolution not being duly passed at
the Shareholder Meeting.
Further the Shareholders and bondholders of the Company are
reminded that if the Restructuring Plan is not sanctioned by the
Court, the Restructuring will not be capable of being implemented.
In that scenario, it is likely that there would be a controlled
wind-down of the Group's operations followed by an insolvent
liquidation of the Company.
