Quintessentially English plc (the 'Company' or 'Quintessentially')
Result of AGM and AGM statement
The Board of Quintessentially English plc (the 'Company') announces that at the
Annual General Meeting of the Company held earlier today,
Resolutions 1 to 5 were duly approved by Shareholders.
Resolutions 6 and 7 authorising the Directors to allot securities up to a
maximum nominal amount of £388,250 and disapply pre-emption rights on the
allotment of up to £388,250 of relevant securities were withdrawn in view of the
fact that the Company's shares are now suspended from trading on AIM and that
any further issue of shares is likely to constitute a reverse takeover and
therefore would require prior shareholder approval. The Board also noted
technical discrepancies in relation to the drafting of these resolutions.
At the conclusion of the meeting the Board made the following statement:
'Since the suspension of trading of the Company's shares on AIM on 1 April 2006,
the Board has continued to seek a suitable reverse acquisition for the Company.
A number of interesting opportunities are currently being explored. The Board
will keep shareholders abreast of progress.
Following the posting of the annual report and accounts to shareholders in
April, the Board wishes to clarify the accounts in relation to the steps the
board intends to take in the event that no acquisition constituting a reverse
takeover is made by 1 October 2006 and, as specified by the London Stock
Exchange, trading in the Company's shares on AIM is cancelled. If this
eventuality arises, it is the Board's intention to seek a quotation for the
Company's shares on an alternative exchange, subject to Shareholder approval.
Furthermore, in order to maximise the attractiveness of the Company as an
acquisition vehicle, each of the Directors has agreed to vary the terms of their
service contracts fixing their remuneration, such that their remuneration will
now be agreed at the time of a reverse acquisition.'
