Assura Group Limited ('Assura' or the 'Company')
Assura EGM resolves to Change Memorandum of Association, depart from investment
policy and apply for reclassification of Assura as a trading company
Assura announces that at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company held
earlier today all of the resolutions set out in the circular issued to
shareholders by the Company on 7 March 2008 were duly passed by the appropriate
majorities.
The resolutions provided:
• that certain changes be made to the Company's investment policy;
• that the Company make an application to the UK Listing Authority for the
reclassification of the Company from being a property investment company to
being a trading company; and
• that certain changes as outlined in the notice of meeting be made to the
Company's memorandum of association.
The changes to the investment policy and the Company's constitution will align
them with the Group's activities, which have evolved significantly since the
Company was established as a closed-ended investment company in 2003.
Assura will remain listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
