The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice of the General Meeting contained in the Circular to shareholders on the Company's website at https://www.bihplc.com/shareholder-information/circulars . A copy of the Circular was also submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and is available at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
At the General Meeting, there was also a discussion as to whether any, and if so what, steps should be taken to deal with the Company's 'serious loss of capital' position pursuant to section 656 of the Companies Act 2006.
As a general update to all of those shareholders who were not present at the General Meeting, the BIH Board is continuing to review potential new acquisition opportunities. Whilst it continues its assessment of potential acquisition opportunities, the BIH Board will prudently manage the Company's remaining cash reserves and minimise its operating expenses in order to put the Company in the best position possible to complete an acquisition.
