CRIMSON TIDE PLC
("Crimson Tide" or "the Company")
RESULT OF GENERAL MEETING
Crimson Tide is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting of the Company held today all resolutions were duly passed.
Further to the announcement by the Company on 30 December 2015, Crimson Tide is looking to undergo a capital reconstruction in order to create positive retained earnings in the balance sheet to allow the Company to, if appropriate, pay dividends and/or buy back its own ordinary shares in the future.
As part of the reconstruction the Company is also looking to cancel the deferred shares of 19 pence each, share premium account and capital redemption reserve, as well as reducing the nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares from one penny to 0.1 pence ("Reduction of Capital").
Having received approval from the shareholders today, the Company will now make an application to the High Court of Justice of England and Wales to confirm the Reduction of Capital. The Company expects that the final hearing of the Company's application will take place on 24 February 2016 with the Reduction of Capital becoming effective on 25 February 2016.
