Result of Annual General Meeting
The directors of Petro Matad Ltd announce that at the Company's Annual General Meeting held in Ulaanbaatar today, resolutions 1, 2, 5 and 6 were duly passed. However, resolutions 3 and 4, regarding the re-appointment of Mary Ellen Collins (non-executive director representing EBRD) and David Skeels (non-executive director) as directors of the Company, were not passed.
The Company's major shareholder, Petrovis Matad Ltd, together with associated entities and persons, called for a poll vote in the meeting and subsequently voted against resolutions 3 and 4. Their votes were sufficient to defeat both resolutions. Accordingly, Mary Ellen Collins and David Skeels have not been re-appointed to the Petro Matad board of directors.
The directors note that EBRD has the right to nominate and to have appointed a member of the board of directors.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
